Matariki marks a special moment in Aotearoa’s calendar — the rising of a cluster of stars that signals the Māori New Year.  Known also as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, Matariki invites us to pause: to remember those who came before us, to appreciate the present, and to set intentions for the year ahead.

Whether you're gathering with loved ones, preparing a special meal, or simply taking time to reflect, may this season of Matariki bring you warmth, connection, and inspiration.

Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki
Mānawa maiea te Mātahi o te tau

Celebrate the rising of Matariki
Celebrate the rising of the New Year
