About time Auckland gets some love for Matariki. Every year it's the same cities hogging the spotlight. 😤
Good on Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei for hosting. Proper kaupapa, this is what it's all about.
go back to watching your Sky TV then. This is actually meaningful.
I still don't get why we need a whole public holiday for this. Just another day off for people to go shopping tbh
Yeah right, more virtue signalling from the council. How many millions they spent on this? Meanwhile the roads are still crap.
mate it's free and open to everyone, stop crying

Beautiful to see our culture celebrated properly. My kids are so excited for the hautapu ceremony!
As someone who helped with the first few Matariki events in Tāmaki, it's amazing how much it's grown. Proud of this city fr
lol facts. People will complain about anything
ffs here come the moaners again. It's a celebration of our unique culture, lighten up.
100% this. The growth is incredible to witness.
