Don’t miss this newly created pop-up music series called Horotiu, remembering the iconic Waihorotiu stream flowing beneath the pavements. For two weeks on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 13 July throughout the festival, contemporary Māori and Pasifika artists will thrill midtown audiences with live music and waiata at scheduled times.
Artists Allana Goldsmith (Ngāti Porou, Ngāi Tai), HINA (Te Rarawa; Ngāti Raukawa), and others are expected to pause the city centre’s hustle and bustle for a moment of celebration as part of Matariki ki te Manawa.
Where: Queen Street (between Shortland St and Auckland Town Hall prow), Auckland Central
