Te Rā o te Raukura
Te Rā o te Raukura is a whānau-oriented community cultural festival, that focusses on the positive promotion of whānau, cultural, social, educational, health and wellbeing initiatives.
Since its beginnings in 1997, Te Ra o Te Raukura has gone on to become one of the largest annual Maori Cultural event held in the Hutt Valley and Wellington region. The annual average attendance are around 16,000 people.
There are many activities on show for the whole whānau to enjoy and participate. Music entertainment from local artists, kapa haka groups and top New Zealand bands all perform for the community throughout the day. Government agencies, NGOs, Māori Community Groups and Whānau who displays a range of stalls to showcase their mahi and resources. There are also lots of fun activities for the tamariki to enjoy. Overall this is one event that brings whanau and community together.
An integral part of Te Rā also is that we are a wai-only event/ non-alcohol and in recent years have begun promoting our stance in also being plastic-free.
Te Rā o Te Raukura Limited has been delivering this event for the last 5 years, previously it was under the Rūnanga o Te Ati Awa. While they are still the same people who have run this event since 1997, they have honoured the event by having its own entity as they keep pace with the growth and success of the event each year.
On Average attendance is between 9000-15,000 (depending on the weather ALSO we are usually on at the same time as a lot of other music events).
