Matariki ki Sandringham
Gather with us for an afternoon of hope and inspiration as we celebrate the first official public holiday for Matariki, on Friday 24 June from 3 pm to 6.30 pm in Sandringham Reserve.
Join us for shared kai, waiata, performances and wānanga on maramataka, rongoā and more. Learn how to make your own poi, raranga (flax-weaving) and create stars for Pōhutakawa Te Whetū (memories of our loved ones who have passed, our hopes and inspirations).
Our Matariki ki Sandringham will end with an amazing Matariki light glow show that celebrates the beauty of Te Taiao (our environment)
