Matariki Lights at Stardome will be an immersive and beautiful exterior activation that encourages manuhiri to come to Maungakiekie to celebrate Matariki with a beautiful light and sound display. It is an invitation to Aucklanders to come and enjoy Aotearoa’s first official Matariki Public Holiday.
The free event is centred around an outdoor lighting and projection installation that illuminates the exterior of the Stardome building as a unique backdrop to tell the story of Matariki. The movement of nine pillars of light will be accompanied by waves of sound to create an immersive event.
We encourage visitors to congregate on the lawn directly in front of Stardome, where the experience becomes immersive with a bespoke sound composition.
This free light show will run every 7-10 minutes from 6:30pm -9:00pm every night (until 10.30pm on Saturday and Sunday).
Bookings not required.
