Matariki is about remembering those who have passed on, looking to the future; and being present with our loved ones. While Tauranga Moana celebrates Te Mātahi o Te Tau (Māori New Year) on 28 May 2025, on the morning of our national holiday, 20 June 2025, we acknowledge and remember loved ones who have passed in the year. We invite all whānau pani (grieving families) and friends who have lost loved ones in the past year to place your hand on Te Tapuātea o Mauao and call out the names of your loved ones (karanga mate). This is a special way to remember those who have passed away and acknowledge them as whetū - stars in the night sky that continue to look over us.
When: Friday, 20 June 2025, 6.00am – 8.00am
Where: Mauao Summit, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga
Price: Free
