All About Puanga Matariki 2026 Market

Visitors spend the morning browsing stalls filled with handmade crafts, local art, and food from Northland makers at the Puanga Matariki 2026 Market. Families can watch live demonstrations, join whānau-friendly activities, and explore exhibitions that share stories and traditions of Matariki. The free event runs for four hours and welcomes people of all ages, making it easy for grandparents to bring grandchildren along. Cash is needed for purchases, while parking, toilets, and wheelchair access are all provided on site. Attending gives locals and visitors a simple way to support creative businesses, meet neighbours, and take part in a shared celebration of reflection and new beginnings.

Where It All Happens

The market is set at Reyburn House in Whangārei's Town Basin, a well-known gathering spot beside the harbour. The Town Basin area draws the wider Northland community for weekend outings, and the historic house grounds offer plenty of space for stalls and relaxed browsing. Choosing this central location means residents from across the district can easily reach the event and enjoy a morning that blends culture, creativity, and local connection.
