Live performances at the Stoke Tāhunanui Kāhui Ako Matariki Celebration will be going ahead tonight from 5:00pm – 7:30pm. Note there will be limited hot food options due to the weather, but there will be a free sausage sizzle! This is an informal event so please feel free to wander in and out at your own pace.
Food stalls
Unfortunately, due to the weather most of our food stalls are unable to trade safely. However, Deano’s Dogs, Pastissima and Gelato Roma should be there (there may be wait times), a free sausage sizzle will be provided and there will be plenty of snack options inside the hall. You are welcome to eat inside the hall (please take rubbish with you if possible).
