Rangitāne Annual Matariki Gathering 2025

This year, we anticipate another large turnout, continuing the tradition of one of the most significant annual gatherings hosted by Rangitāne o Wairau. Whānau will sound the pūtātara to signal the beginning of the ceremony, followed by karanga, karakia, and waiata. We will pay tribute to our loved ones who have passed over.

Although it may be a chilly start to the day, we will warm up with a cooked breakfast and a warm cuppa.

Ngā mihi nui o te Tau Hou Māori e te iwi.

Thanks to the MDC Mānawatia te Kahui o Matariki Fund for providing the funding for this event.
