Revel in the uniquely Aotearoa art form that is kapa haka with a performance from some of our finest Māori cultural groups.

Following on from a very successful Te Matatini Herenga Waka Herenga Tangata in Tāmaki Makaurau in February 2023, we are pleased to welcome kapa haka back to Auckland to delight audiences of all ages in song and haka.

Āhuareka – entertainment / celebration – fittingly describes the wonder brought by the groups that will grace the stage, including Te Kapa Haka o Ngāti Whakaue from Te Arawa region. Bring your friends and family to this engaging performance that highlights the beauty, style and poise of this traditional Māori art form.
