Come together and celebrate this significant time of the year. 
 Matariki events across our rohe / district have been created by our community for our community. 

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades and is recognised by all cultures throughout the world. It's a time when whānau remember those who have passed on; celebrate the present and plan for the future. For many Māori, it heralds the start of a new year.
