Taikura Kapa Haka

Jordan Cameron —

Kapa Haka is in the air this week across the country.

Taikura Kapa Haka is an annual festival bringing together kaumātua from across the motu in celebration of the rich mātauranga and pūkenga held in our apārangi tūnohunohu.

The event began in Kahungunu before moving to Te Papa 15 years ago.

With the support of the He Kura te Tangata Trust, we are proud to support and host this joyous kaupapa that will continue to be a treasure for generations to come.

We are only 1 sleep away from our big Taikura Kapa Haka kaupapa festival this weekend. Tune in live as our OG’s take the stage.

Where: Te Papa Level 2 | From 10:50am | 29 & 30 June.
