ARONUI MĀORI MARKET

The ARONUI Māori Market celebrates Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori with kai, clothing and art stalls, live music, haka and good vibes- supporting pakihi Māori to sell and display their world-class goods.
 
This year the market will be at Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Village, with an opening acknowledgement from this year’s hosts, Tūhourangi/ Ngāti Wāhiao. This is a free event so bring along the whānau, fill up on kai, have a kanikani, and help us celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.
 
We have programmed some very special artists, musicians and kapa haka rōpū for this year’s stage so stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks.
