Yay, a day off work!
On the 6th of February 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed by Rangatira Māori and representatives of the Crown.
2019 is the 179th anniversary of the signing of the Waitangi Treaty.
Waitangi Day gets its name from the name of the treaty document, which in turn got its name from the location in the Bay of Islands where the treaty was signed, which is only a mere 3-minute drive from Paihia.
In Auckland, the day is celebrated near the city’s birthplace at Bastion Point. It was at Orakei, in 1841, that Auckland Māori chiefs invited Governor Hobson to create the city. This family-focused event features live entertainment, kai / Māori food and kite flying with the spectacular coastal backdrop of the Waitemata Harbour and Rangitoto Island.
Enjoy your day.
