Waitangi Day set to showcase Porirua

Porirua City Council

Porirua’s Waitangi Day celebration will feature food, music and waka tours.

This year’s event at Te Rauparaha Park on Tuesday 6 February, from midday to 5pm, will be headlined on the main stage by roots reggae band House of Shem, who are sure to wow the crowd with their cool summer beats. Other performances on the main stage include Te Kura Māori o Porirua, Tipapa Bracken, Brooke x Starce, Ben Makisi, and TJ Taotua & Ministry of Tone.

Inside Te Rauparaha Arena there’ll be lots of free activities for tamariki, and more than 30 stallholders in the park outside. In Pātaka, meanwhile, there will be beautiful art and local history to discover. The popular free waka tours are also returning for the day, providing the opportunity to paddle around Te-Awarua-o-Porirua harbour, thanks to Toa Waka Ama.

Waitangi Day 2024 is an alcohol-free, smoke-free and vape-free event, and please leave your dogs at home.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
