Bring the whānau, a blanket, pack a picnic and a hot drink. Enjoy a night of Māori and Pacific short films followed by our feature movie 'Whina'.
The story of Dame Whina Cooper, the beloved Māori matriarch who worked tirelessly to improve the rights of her people, especially women. Flawed yet resilient, 'Whina' tells the story of a woman formed by tradition, compelled by innovation, and guided by an instinct for equality and justice whose legacy as the Te Whaea o te Motu (Mother of the Nation) was an inspiration to an entire country.

Te Rā o Waitangi is a free, family-friendly event in the heart of the city where we can honour the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, acknowledge our history, and recognise the power of coming together – and everyone is invited!
Bring your friends and whānau, and enjoy an award-winning line-up of Māori performers, food and culture.
Alongside the all-day performances, there will be food stalls and food trucks from 12 noon – 6pm, activations from Mai FM, and a film bus showing short films.
Feast on the hāngi from 12 noon, but be quick, they sell out fast!
