Rā o Waitangi | Northland

The day opens with the dawn karakia at 5am from Te Whare Rūnanga before four hours of non-stop insights and entertainment to 10am, including performances from the National Youth Choir and Jaedyn Randall, home fresh from her stunning appearance on The Voice Australia.

This year’s kaupapa or theme is manaakitanga (hospitality) and kotahitanga (unity).Manaakitanga reflects the importance of
caring for others, extending warmth, respect and generosity to all. Kotahitanga speaks to the power of unity, reminding us that by coming together, we strengthen our collective bond. As we gather to celebrate Waitangi, we invite you to honour these values, fostering an atmosphere of respect, togetherness and shared purpose.
