A time for remembrance, celebrating the present and looking to the future
Matariki is a time for us to gather and celebrate with those around us.
As the stars of the Matariki cluster rise in the winter sky, they signal a time of remembrance, reflection, and renewal across Aotearoa. Matariki is a special period that connects us to the land, the sky, and each other, through a series of events, traditions, and celebrations that are deeply rooted in Māori culture.
Whether you’re looking to learn about the significance of the Matariki stars, find local events where you can immerse yourself in the festivities, or explore ways to honor this important time with your family and community, Matariki.co.nz is your gateway to it all.
