The Otago Museum welcome everyone to their official Dunedin celebration of Matariki and the Māori New Year this Sunday, July 4th. There will be a dawn ceremony, along with complimentary breakfast and a community day.

The event will begin at 7am in the Museum Reserve. A karakia to welcome Matariki into the dawn sky will start the morning, before moving inside for kōrero and waiata, followed by the free community breakfast. From 9am onwards you are welcomed to enjoy the community fun day, including a range of performances and activities (Kapa Haka, workshops, crafts and more)!
