Excitement is already building in Auckland with the announcement of New Zealand’s premier Kapa Haka festival Te Matatini to be held at Eden Park, 23-27 of February 2021. The biennial traditional Māori cultural arts festival is the pinnacle event for Māori performing arts, and Auckland city will host one of the most anticipated events on the Māori calendar.

Te Matatini Chairman, Selwyn Parata, said that taking it back to Tāmaki Makaurau and to the spiritual home of rugby is special and exciting.
“Eden Park is the largest stadium in the country and it is only right we take the most important event in Māoridom to a venue of such significance. Set right in the heart of Auckland city and close to train stations and other public transport we are certain the stadium has the ability to accommodate kaumātua, whānau and kapa haka performers as well”.
