Name: Waiatatia Mo Matariki
Start: 2026-07-10T08:00:00+12:00
Location: The PumpHouse Theatre

Nau mai, haere mai, whakatau mai rā, you are warmly invited to gather with our community beneath the Matariki stars, and share in an evening of waiata, warmth, and connection.
Together, we’ll raise our voices in waiata that honour this special time of year: remembering those who have passed, celebrating the present, and looking ahead with hope for the year to come.
With gentle live music, soft starlit ambience, and a cosy outdoor hōtoke setting, this is a space to slow down, reflect, and connect. All are welcome, kāore he wheako e hiahiatia ana, just bring your voice and your whānau. We will provide waiata/songbooks with the words, and our MC Hōrano Henare will teach you about the waiata.
Throughout the evening, you’ll be treated to light, heartfelt kōrero, shared laughter, and moments of stillness. After the singing, stay for a kai and moment to connect with your community.
