Matariki 2026: Herenga Waka - For Everyone

Celebrate Matariki, the Māori New Year, on July 10, 2026 with our curated collection of Māori cultural products. This year's theme, Herenga Waka - For Everyone, celebrates unity and inclusivity as we come together to honour this significant time in the Māori calendar.

What is Matariki?
Matariki marks the rising of the Pleiades star cluster and signals the beginning of the Māori New Year. It's a time for:

• Remembering those who have passed
• Celebrating the present with whānau (family) and friends
• Looking forward to the future with hope and renewal
• Gathering kai (food) and sharing stories

2026 National Celebrations
Join over 60,000 Kiwis celebrating Matariki across Aotearoa, with national celebrations hosted by Ngāti Whātua in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). This nationally recognized public holiday is a time to embrace and celebrate Māori culture together.

Our Matariki Collection
Discover our range of authentic Māori cultural products including TOITŪ TE TIRITI designs, Tino Rangatiratanga items, Greenstone Tiki patterns, and Do The Mahi pieces - all celebrating te reo Māori and Māori heritage.

Kia ora and happy Matariki! 🌟
