The stars will be rising across Tāmaki Makaurau to celebrate Matariki.
This year’s Matariki Festival features events throughout the Supercity, deputy mayor Desley Simpson confirms.
“Matariki is an important time for communities across Tāmaki Makaurau to come together to reflect, celebrate and look ahead. Collectively, our cultural organisations offer a rich and accessible programme for Aucklanders and visitors alike,” she says.
“This collaboration also supports council’s direction to encourage greater coordination across the cultural sector, helping organisations share knowledge and resources, strengthen outcomes and create meaningful experiences for our communities.”
Major events are taking place at such iconic Auckland attractions as MOTAT, the NZ Maritime Museum, Auckland Zoo, the Stardome and more, numerous smaller events are on the schedule.
By working together, organisers are creating a more connected Tāmaki Makaurau story, adds Vincent Lipanovich from council’s Tātaki Auckland Unlimited.
“Each organisation offers something different, from art and history to science, nature and astronomy. Together we bring breadth and depth to the experiences to be enjoyed across the region’s cultural organisations this Matariki.
“Through this programme, we want people to experience the essence of Matariki in ways that are engaging, accessible and grounded in the identity of Tāmaki Makaurau.”
