Ngā Pakiwaitara O Matariki

10 May 2025 - 3 Aug 2025

Māori storytelling amongst the stars

Experience the rising of the Matariki star cluster, signifying the Māori New Year in Te Ao Māori.

Immerse yourself in the heart of Matariki - remembering those lost to us over the past year, celebrating the present, giving thanks, and reaching out to the promise of the future.

Explore each of the nine stars and their pakiwaitara/stories through the sharing of cultural knowledge and kupu tuku iho/histories, waiata/song, mahi toi/visual arts, and kapa haka/dance.

Embrace the past present and future of Matariki in Moreton Bay.
