Book Club Kete - Available at Te Awe, Kilbirnie, Karori and Tawa.
This year, WCC have partnered with Taranaki Whānui and Ngāti Toa Rangatira to bring a fantastic new festival of events, activities, and exhibitions to Pōneke to coincide with September’s nationwide Te Wiki o te Reo Māori celebrations.

Te Hui Ahurei Reo Māori o Te Whanganui-a-Tara, the Māori Language Festival of Wellington, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Māori language petition delivered to Parliament in September 1972 with te reo Māori focused arts and events.

Many of the whānau-friendly events are free, or on a sliding pay scale, so everyone’s welcome and encouraged to pay what they can.
