Tāmaki Herenga Waka Festival is on tonight!
The story of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and the waka that sailed here will take centre stage in January 2020 when the region celebrates its Māori heritage through the Tāmaki Herenga Waka Festival.
For the first time since its inaugural year in 2016, the Festival will feature both land and water performances that will go on into the night, as well as storytelling that captures the region’s rich waka history which shaped the Tāmaki Makaurau we know and love today.
Highlights include:
• Gates open 5.30pm
• Waka showcase
• A marketplace of kai and toi (art)
• A land stage for performances and storytelling (6pm – 9.30pm)
• A water stage for performances and storytelling (9.30pm – 11pm)
• Kapa haka
• Contemporary Māori dance
• Music
• Vector Lights on the Auckland Harbour Bridge

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
