Join us this Waitangi Day in Porirua
Food, music and activities for all the whānau – some of the key ingredients that make an amazing day out will be in abundance as we mark Waitangi Day in Porirua.
The event, one of New Zealand’s largest, will be held on 6 February, 11am–4pm at Te Rauparaha Park. Local performance favourites such as Ainslie Allen, The Mitis and Aotea College’s barbershop will be featuring on the main stage, before headliner Sammy J at 2.15pm.
There will be more than 20 food options, with food trucks alongside the park, offering everything from Kiwi staples to spicy offerings to satisfy your puku.
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own reusable coffee cups and food containers. Waka tours from Toa Waka Ama are back, giving people a chance to get out on Te Awarua-o-Porirua Harbour.
Free buses will run people from Te Rauparaha Park down to Onepoto Jetty.
Capital E, Awesome Bounce, a Lego exhibition and much more will keep enthusiastic tamariki entertained inside Te Rauparaha Arena. Entry to Arena Aquatics is by gold coin donation and there will be all day fun activities and a pool party, 4.30-6.30pm.
At Pātaka, there will be a mini crafts market, performances, whānau fun and free tours of the Whiti Te Rā! – the Story of Ngāti Toa Rangatira exhibition.
