Matariki Night Market

Gather your whānau, bring your friends and join us for a magical winter evening celebrating Matariki through creativity, connection and community.

There's something for everyone:
🍲 Delicious kai from food vendors
🌟 Creative market stalls
🎶 Live music and entertainment
🎨 Face painting and activities for tamariki
🔥 Cosy spaces to gather, connect and kōrero
💡 Avondale Art Park illuminated with festival lights

Grounded in the values of Matariki, we’ll gather to honour those who have gone before us, celebrate our vibrant community and share our hopes for the year ahead. Add your aspirations to our Community Affirmation Wall and help create a shared vision for our future. ⭐

For one special night, Avondale Art Park will transform into a place of light, creativity, manaakitanga and belonging. Whether you're coming for the kai, the music or simply to spend time with your whānau, we'd love to celebrate with you! 💫

Presented in collaboration with Open Circle and the Avondale Business Association. Hui Kōrero Under the Stars celebrates Matariki through creativity, connection, and storytelling as part of Great Art on Main, a series of artworks bringing bursts of colour and joy to Avondale's main street, delivered in partnership with the Auckland Urban Development Office.
