Seeking/Ararapu Matariki in the Zone

The pandemic meant we could not plan for our usual big, beautiful event. So to celebrate, we’re bringing the stars down to earth.

We invite you to trace the path of the Matariki star cluster in the red zone.

As night falls the star stations will light up creating a star-path you can follow after sundown. 

An approximately 700m circuit in the community garden area. It encompasses 9 stars of the cluster, with a little of their stories.

We’re so sad not to be hosting the hāngī, music and entertainment of midwinter’s past, but we are excited to introduce our new star hikoi.

We intend to bring the much-loved community event back full throttle in 2023, but we’ll be growing and incorporating our star-path into future Matariki in the Zone.
