Event Submission 13 Matariki Ahunga Nui

Join us for Matariki Ahunga Nui at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki!

This free, whānau-friendly event celebrates community, fun and creativity. Engage in craft activities inspired by our hero whetū Hiwa-i-te-rangi and enjoy kapa haka performances and music by emerging local talent from Crescendo.

Taane Mete returns to focus on Hiwa-i-te-rangi through his dance performance, Greatsouth (Payton Taplin) delivers indie rock with taonga pūoro, and we end the day with a waiata singalong.

We warmly welcome our blind, low vision and Deaf communities with specific activations as well as providing a relaxed sensory space with parallel play activities.
