NZ / Waitangi day celebrations in Perth WA (06 Feb 07)? |
Travel Info Where do I find information about NZ / Waitangi day celebrations being held in Perth? Travel Tips Waitangi Day is a public holiday in New Zealand held each year on February 6 to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document, on that date in 1840. In recent years, communities throughout New Zealand have been celebrating Waitangi Day in a variety of ways. These often take the form of public concerts and festivals. Some marae use the day as an open day and an educational experience for their local communities, giving them the opportunity to experience M膩ori culture and protocol. Other marae use the day as an opportunity to explain where they see M膩ori are and the way forward for M膩ori in New Zealand. Another popular way of celebrating the day is at concerts held around the country. Due to the day also being Bob Marley's birthday Reggae music is especially popular. Wellington has a long running "One Love" festival (Radio Active 89FM) that celebrates peace and unity. Another such event is Groove in the Park, held in the Auckland Domain run and organised by radio station GeorgeFM.
