Join us to celebrate Puanga in Palmerston North.
This event returns to the Pit Lanes for 2026, as we come together to bring in the Māori New Year.
Enjoy a range of kai options, live entertainment from local groups – including kapa haka, and plenty of activities for tamariki. You’ll also have the chance to learn more about why Puanga is celebrated in the region (instead of Matariki) and what it means to local iwi.
More information on what to expect will be shared soon.
