Nau mai haere mai, a very warm welcome to the Bayswater School Matariki Festival 2026. The theme for Tāmaki Makaurau this year is “Matariki ki te Rangi” – a celebration of our connection to the heavens, the stars, and the aspirations they inspire within our communities.
What to expect:
Watch local tamariki shine on stage as they share their kapa haka talents
Crafts for the kids to do
A makers’ market
Delicious kai
The famous Bayswater bonfire
Aspiration station, writing your aspirations for the year to place into the bonfire (before it’s lit).
Ngā mihi to Devonport-Takapuna Local Board for their funding support and Stretch Tents for their sponsorship.
