What is Matariki?

Matariki in New Zealand, observed during the rising of the Pleiades star cluster in late May or June, marks the start of the Māori New Year. It is a time to honor ancestors, celebrate community, and reflect on the future.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
