Te Wananga o Aotearoa Kapa Haka Super 12s
12 people, 12 minutes, $12,000.
Overview
In this open event - groups sign up to perform on the big stage at the Cloud in front of thousands in a diverse showcase of Kapa Haka in all shapes and sizes. Often considered the centerpiece of Auckland's Matariki festival, this is a vibrant and fun celebration of what it means to be Maori. There's still time to register if you fancy yourself a Kapa Haka master, or if you (like me) would rather avoid the spotlight and enjoy the show then entry is free, all day Saturday.
