What will you do in the Matariki Pēwhairangi Festival?

Denise Piper Reporter from The Bay Chronicle

The Bay's Matariki Pēwhairangi Festival has been a huge success so far, and there is still plenty more events to come, including school holiday events.
Will you watch the Morph Puppet Festival, which runs today until Monday, including the Matariki-themed Shadow Worlds at The Turner Centre on Saturday?
Or will you be more interested in Rob Mokaraka's thought-provoking one man show, SHOT BRO: Confessions of a Depressed Bullet, at The Duke of Marlborough, on Thursday, July 14?
Those keen to brave the cold water could win a share of $1000 win the
Manu Masters at Russell Wharf on Saturday, July 16.
Foodies will love the Tohunga Tumau: Puanga Matariki Dinner, also on July 16 – a culinary experience hosted at the iconic Duke of Marlborough Hotel, featuring an all-star line-up of Māori master chefs and music is from the legendary HERBS.
Waitangi Treaty Grounds have the Star Waka School Holiday Programme and exhibition running July 11 to 22, so there is plenty for all.
