Setting up isn’t the job, making it work and setting the vibe is! 😎

Day Two reset for Te Hūkere Te Hoe | Stall Holders

Open coffee cart first, now...need to put that other table in that space there... I wonder how the stallholders are feeling... how I can support them better... hope they’re are having a good time... weather looks good but will it hold? I don’t like where that is… definitely changing that next time... shouldn't have stayed up so late rewatching the kapa... this space needs this and that...I wonder how all the kapa haka teams are, I wonder who is going to place...wonder what feedback will come in for this area...how is this my job... oh ok its show time 🙌😁

Whānau tables donated by the amazing guys ❤️ you guys are awesome!!

Waitangi Whānau Day 2026 🤍

Wow what a day! Ngā mihi nui to everyone who came along and made Waitangi Whānau Day what it was. The wairua of the day was felt right across the space, through the smiles, kōrero, laughter and the way our community showed up for one another.

Thank you to our whānau, hapori, volunteers, stallholders, performers and vendors who shared their time, energy and mahi. Your presence and support is what brings this kaupapa to life and creates a space where connection, celebration and unity can truly be felt. We couldn't have done it without you all! ❤️

Images and videos from the day are in, so keep an eye out for them. In the meantime, here’s a little trending AI-generated image of your happy organisers 😁
