Welcome the Māori New Year with a great lineup of events for all ages to celebrate the rising of the Matariki star cluster. There's free music events, immersive planetarium shows, and a free open day! This special time is a chance to reflect, celebrate, and look forward. Whether you're stargazing under the winter sky, or wanting to learn more about Matariki for the first time, we have something for you. Mānawatia a Matariki!
