Waitangi Day Commemorations return to Kawatea Okains Bay

In partnership with Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata, Okains Bay Museum will be co-hosting Waitangi Day Commemorations on Tuesday 6 February 2024. Historically, the Okains Bay Waitangi Day commemoration is the longest-running in Te Waipounamu and is an iconic event on the national calendar.

In an important new direction, the day will be run as a free community event which will ensure that cost is not a barrier to whānau participation.

We are also very grateful that Christchurch City Council has come on board as a sponsor, supporting us with key infrastructure and services required for the event.

After a two-year COVID-19-enforced hiatus, we believe the return of Waitangi Day Commemorations to Kawatea Okains Bay in 2024 will be more popular than ever.

 

More details will follow as planning progresses.
