Watch videos of well-known personalities showing us how to pronounce Auckland’s Māori place names properly. Check out Auckland Council’s YouTube channel, Facebook page or Instagram.

Grab your rugs and cushions, pack a whānau picnic dinner and join us at Waitangi Park on the evening before Waitangi Day. Māoriland Film Festival will present a programme of short films followed by New Zealand favourite, Poi E.

Bring your friends and whānau, and enjoy an award-winning line-up of Māori performers, food and culture. A delicious hāngi will be available from midday, but you’ll need to be quick – there are only 500 servings!

Waitangi Day Whānau Festival
Join celebrations to acknowledge our national day and our diverse community with kai, craft and musical fun for the whole whānau. Nau mai, tauti mai! Everyone is welcome.
