Celebrate Matariki at the Rose Centre with five days of events honouring te ao Māori! Each day offers something unique – from live performances by a Māori artist to an indoor market showcasing local Māori creators.
Get hands-on with a star-candle-making workshop, enjoy delicious competition at our frybread contest, and immerse yourself in Māori arts and culture. Gather with whānau to reflect, celebrate and look forward to the new year. Nau mai, haere mai!
