Matariki in Porirua
Matariki will be celebrated at Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua from 24 June to 3 July, with a packed programme of star-filled events that will delight young and old.
Porirua Mayor Anita Baker says Matariki, which signals the start of the Māori new year, is a special time when we reflect on the year that’s been, acknowledge people who have passed, and look ahead.
“It’s become a new tradition in our city to have Te Rauparaha Arena decked out and it’s going to look wonderful.”
