Matariki Pewhairangi 2023
Matariki Pēwhairangi festival brings us together to acknowledge the reappearance of te kāhui o Matariki and Puanga above the early morning horizon in the stunning Bay of Islands.
Matariki is about spending time with those you love, remembering those we have lost, sharing knowledge and food and making plans for the future. We celebrate our abundance!
Explore our programme of unique experiences and feasts, packed with incredible workshops, beautiful waiata (music), inspiring talks, belly-warming kai, star-gazing and family fun.
Reconnect in the Bay of Islands, Te Pēwhairangi, this Matariki!
