This year’s theme is an opportunity to explore the events that have shaped us: large and small, public and private, milestones and moments that have shaped our diverse communities here in the Ōtautahi-Christchurch District and the wider Canterbury region.
Here in Ōtautahi-Christchurch and Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū-Banks Peninsula, we have many stories, from Ngāi Tahu and other iwi, European settlers, Pasifika and people of many ethnic and cultural backgrounds who have made the district home.
The Christchurch Heritage Festival allows us to share the stories of the past that link us to this place. He tātai muka, he tātai tangata – weave together the strands, weave together the people.
