Matariki Festival

We've come to the end of the Matariki Festival 2011. 

This year's festival was one of the biggest with dozens of special events and activities organised across Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) from 4 June to 4 July to celebrate Māori New Year.

From music concerts, cultural performances and art exhibitions to a food forum and native tree plantings, Matariki Festival 2011 provided Aucklanders and visitors alike with a range of opportunities to experience living cultural traditions with tangata whenua and to celebrate New Zealand’s unique Māori heritage.

Auckland Council would like to thank all the sponsors, artists, event organisers, supporters, suppliers and people who made Matariki Festival 2011 a huge success.
