Tere Talks & Whāriki Matarki Mākete

Celebrate Puanga at Hihiaua

Whāriki Mākete: 3:00PM-7:30PM Hihiaua Tere Talks: From 5:30PM

Join us for the Whāriki Matariki Mākete for live music, tasty kai and treats, whānau-friendly activities, a line-up of Māori businesses and creatives to support.

In our Tere Talks, where eight local voices will weave together their stories and insights, each contributing their unique perspective to our collective understanding of "E Tu Ngahere." Just as the ngahere thrives through diversity—where kauri, rimu, tōtara, and countless others each contribute their unique strengths—so too must our community interweave our diverse talents and perspectives. Come experience an evening filled with laughter, hope, and whanaungatanga to celebrate the new year.
