Ways to celebrate Matariki this year, and to look forward to the year ahead!

Arrange to connect with those close to you for a celebratory dinner complete with music, song and dance. Traditionally, celebrations can last up to 3 days, but connecting and spending time together is most important.
Celebrate the life of those who has passed. Take the opportunity to acknowledge your ancestors, with family members, and identify your place in the tapestry of your family.
Look for community events to attend and take part in - concerts & cultural performances, art exhibitions, workshops, hangi or feats, family days and conservation focused efforts that give back to the natural world.
Take an educational approach and view series on television around the rising of Matariki. Learn Karakia for each of the 9 stars of Matariki and sing them on the day.
As Matariki is about the harvest, take the chance to clear the winter vegetables and prepare your gardens for the sowing of seeds in spring for a harvest in the warmer seasons.
Take your friends or family to look upon the stars and identify Matariki in the night sky. This can be a great opportunity for children, and could turn into a campout under the stars.
Set new resolutions for your work and home life. Many of us set resolutions at 1 January, but Matariki is a time of renewal and a great chance to reflect upon your resolutions and look to the year ahead.
