Celebrate Matariki on the Kāpiti Coast
Celebrate the Māori New Year on the Kāpiti Coast with two light festivals and an exciting month-long programme of whānau-friendly events.
Curated by the incredibly talented Māoriland team (of Māoriland Film Festival fame), the annual month-long Matariki Ramaroa festival is opened and closed by two stunning light art events.
Full of food trucks, music and beautiful light installations each of the weekends is slightly different, making it well worth taking the whānau to both for a delightful night out! Rug up warm!
