Matariki ki te Manawa

With light installations that tell stories of place and space, activations for people of all ages, live music to dance to or to chill out to, innovative Augmented Reality sculptures, there is something for everyone in the heart of the city.

From Silo Park to Te Tōangaroa, up Queen Street, Elliott St, Vulcan Lane, Aotea Square, Myers Park and the new train stations of Te Waihorotiu and Te Karanga a Hape, we encourage you to bring your family, stay for the day and enjoy a sensory experience like no other that celebrates this unique time of the year.

We invite you to look up, look around...where light, art and music weave a thousand stories across the city centre.

Nau mai ki te hōtaka mō tēnei tau e whakahihiko ana, e whakaora ana i te pokapū o Tāmaki Makaurau.

He puninga toi rama e whakaatu ana i ngā kōrero o te wāhi, he kaupapa whakahohe mō ngā reanga katoa, he puoro mataora hei kanikani, hei okioki hoki, he tārai auaha ao niko, ā, he kaupapa maha mō te katoa i te pokapū o te tāone.

Mai i Silo Park ki Te Tōangaroa, piki ake ki Queen Street, Elliott St, Vulcan Lane, Aotea – Te Papa Tū Wātea, Myers Park me ngā teihana tereina hou o Te Waihorotiu me Te Karanga a Hape, tēnā, toro mai me tō whānau, noho mai mō te rā kia wheako ā-tairongo i tēnei kaupapa motuhake e whakanui ana i tēnei wāhanga whakahirahira o te tau.

Tēnā, titiro whakarunga, titiro noa…he aho, he toi, he puoro e whakakotahi ai ngā tini kōrero i roto i te pokapū o te tāone.
