Matariki
June 24
Matariki marks the Māori New Year and the annual rising of the Matariki star cluster (known internationally as the Pleiades). Traditionally it is a time for remembrance, celebration, reflection, and planning for the year ahead. Across Aotearoa New Zealand, communities gather to honour those who have passed, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future.
