Matariki, or the Māori New Year is celebrated in mid to late June when the first new moon occurs along with the appearance of the star cluster Matariki (Pleiades, or Seven Sisters), in the pre-dawn eastern sky.
Matariki marks the end of the traditional harvest and the beginning of the 'new year' planting season. It is a time of feasting, fun, and festivity.
