About 1,000 people were welcomed onto Whakatū Marae in the event’s opening pōwhiri, a wonderful way to start off the day of festivities, which had a theme of Kotahitanga (unity).

Thank you to Ngāti Koata for hosting at the marae; the kai, arts and crafts stallholders; special guest Jordyn with a Why; all the staff and volunteers; and you, Whakatū Nelson, for such a fantastic turnout—7,000 people took part in the day, and we hope to see you all back again for future events.
