Te Ramaroa is delivered for the whole community to enjoy. Here are some highlights from our events to date.
Transforming the CBD in 2021
Our 2021 event has been everything we had hoped for, and more: our new footprint across central Whakatū and 5 crisp, clear nights saw thousands of visitors enjoy our beautiful installations across the central city, Cathedral Hill, NMIT and Queens Gardens. Our roving performers and the acts on the community stage on upper Trafalgar Street created wonderful entertainment while bellies were filled (and warmed!) at our Kirby Lane food hub.

A magical 2018 event
We enjoyed an incredibly strong sense of community, most evident, perhaps, in the Hardy Street Hub, where people gathered (especially around that brazier) to have a chat, swap favourites and must-sees, meet the roving entertainers, and a enjoy a tasty treat from the food stalls.
Here's a little video to relive the magic!
