MONDAY 8 JULY

TUPUĀRANGI 

Tupuārangi is the star associated with all the food we receive from the skies, birds, the delicious tītī or mutton birds and kereru that are harvested in large numbers during the rising of Matariki, cooked and preserved in their own fat. Fruit and berries from trees are also connected to this star.

6pm – 9pm.  The Matariki light trail turns Maybury Reserve into a magical landscape.

Enjoy light displays of Māori-inspired imagery set among thousands of fairy lights.

Wrap up warm and enjoy Māori New Year celebrations in Glen Innes.

​

Te Oro Music & Art Centre. Start or end your visit to the light trail here.

​

7.00pm. Te Iwa o Matariki. A delightful short film as Dr Rangi Matamua shares his knowledge of Matariki through the eyes of a koro (grandfather) with his moko (grand daughter).
