Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate Matariki, the Māori New Year, with our Matariki Puaka Night Market

Come along and immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of te ao Māori. We’ll have a delicious variety of kai stalls, live music and performances, and plenty of opportunities to experience the rich culture and traditions of Aotearoa. Whether you’re there for the food, the entertainment, or simply to chill out with friends and whānau, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

This is a whānau-friendly, inclusive event – nau mai, haere mai! It’s the perfect chance to take a break from study, connect with the community, and celebrate the Māori New Year in a warm and welcoming space.

Let’s come together to share in the stories, flavours, and festivities of Matariki!
