Fun, friends and whānau this Waitangi Day
Celebrate Waitangi Day with live entertainment, food stalls, arts and craft markets and workshops at Barry Curtis Park on Thursday 6 February.
Waitangi Day Celebrations 2014 is a free event brought to you by Auckland Council and is a great opportunity to celebrate with family and friends.
Auckland Mayor Len Brown says that this is a special day, celebrating tangata whenua and who we are as Aucklanders today.
“Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our Māori culture set us apart in the world. Waitangi Day is a perfect time to acknowledge the history and diversity of Auckland, and of New Zealand,” he says.
“There will be a mihi whakatau led by mana whenua at 10am and I invite anyone interested to come and join us.”
With record breaking Pacific Music Award winner Aaradhna and heaps of home-grown talent like the young performers of Pao Pao Pao!, the powerhouse voice of Ria Hall and Vodafone New Zealand Music Award winner David Dallas this is a definite must-do event.
