Wellington Matariki Festival Matariki is the Māori name for the star cluster known as the Pleiades. The ascent of Matariki in late May or June signalled the change of season and heralded the start of the Māori New Year. Traditionally, Māori New Year signals a time for connecting with, and giving thanks to, the land, sea and sky. It is also a time for the community to farewell those departed and the passing of one year to the next. Today, Matariki has been revived as a celebration of people, culture, language, spirituality, and history. It is a time for whānau (family) and friends to come together to reflect on the past 12 months and look towards the year ahead. In 2015, Matariki, the Māori New Year, will start on 18 June. Eight Wellington museums and galleries have joined forces to present a major programme of exhibitions and events to celebrate Matariki 2015, the Māori New Year. The Wellington Matariki Festival will host more than 60 free events and activities between Sat 13 Jun to Sun 12 Jul. Events include a Poi E/Thriller Flash Mob, New Zealand Post Kaumātua Kapa Haka, a poetry slam, concerts, a Māori and Pacific Island Wikipedia edit-a-thon, and an art night. For more information and events visit Matariki Wellington. Matariki at Carter Observatory Carter Observatory, Kelburn, Wellington Space Place at Carter Observatory will be celebrating Matariki/Puanga from 1 June to 19 July.
