Celebrate Matariki with Pakiata Matariki in Te Komititanga, presented by Heart of the City, Auckland Council, Britomart and Commercial Bay.
The headline attraction for Matariki Ki Te Manawa, Pakiata Matariki is a large-scale projected light show that will illuminate the entire Chief Post Office building in downtown Auckland, spanning 55 metres wide and 32 metres high.
Come together each evening to celebrate the first indigenous public holiday in the world.
Pakiata Matariki in Te Komititanga will run frequently from 6pm to 9pm daily from 24 June until 16 July. Shows run every 15 minutes.
Each evening it will take audiences on a journey to the stars, telling the story of the origins of Matariki and connecting with this year's iwi manaaki, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. Come together in recognition of the first national holiday to celebrate the Māori New Year.
Park for $2.50 per hour at the Downtown car park to a maximum of $15.50 on evenings and weekends. Find out more.
