Synergy Community Trust organised an event of the Matariki Multicultural Festival 2021 on 4th, July 2021. This is going to be the first big gathering of the wider diverse communities event in west Auckland in the year 2021.
Matariki Multicultural Festival 2021 was organised by Whau Local Board, Synergy Community Trust, together with a number of local community organisations.
This is going to be the first big gathering of the wider diverse communities in west Auckland in the year 2021. According to the date, we have the number of 500 hundred participants in this event.
The communities would like to take an opportunity to organise this event in July, in the combination with the celebrations of the Matariki, the Maori New Year and the Chinese cultures, which would be a great platform for reaching out to our wider communities in West Auckland. It is the communities’ good wishes to use Matariki as an occasion in remembering the people who passed us and celebrating new life and new hopes.
This event was blessed by our Matariki storytelling; singing and dancing cultural performances from many diverse groups including Maori, Pacific, Indian and Chinese etc; cultural experiences such as paper cutting, painting and craft-making; as well as children entertainment. And finally, this event was organised successfully and we gained many good comments from the participant.
