Light Up Hikurangi - Matariki Celebration

Join us for a vibrant celebration of Matariki in the charming town of Hikurangi! 🌌✨ Immerse yourself in the festivities as we illuminate our village. Enjoy delicious kaihaukai (festive feasting), explore both indoor and outdoor markets, and delight in live performances and artistic displays. 🎨🎶

Kids will love the free rides and story time shared by our kaumatua. Many local shops will be open late, adding to the lively atmosphere! If you’re in the mood for continued fun, don’t miss out on Karaoke at the Hikurangi Hotel! 🎤

Matariki is a time for love, remembrance, unity, caring, sharing, environmental awareness, feasting, discussion, and kindness. 🌠✨ Come together with us during this special time as we celebrate with aroha, whakamaumaharatanga, kotahitanga, and more!

The Friendship House ensures mobility parking support, drop-off zones, and seating for kaumatua. For any special requests or needs, feel free to reach out at 09 433 8452 or friendship@hikurangi.co.nz.
