Matariki, the Māori New Year, is recognised by the rising of a cluster of stars known as the Pleiades that appear in mid-winter.

The Matariki Festival is a celebration of friendship, collaboration, arts and harvest – and a time to celebrate the abundance of culture and talent in New Zealand.

Invercargill’s Matariki Festival runs in Esk Street from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, 29 June 2019.
