What a beautiful day celebrating culture, connection, and community at the Multicultural Festival 🇳🇿✨

Standing on Bunda Street with Tumanako Māori Culture Group, sharing a little taste of Aotearoa, felt so special. Music in the air, familiar flavours, and so many heartfelt conversations with people from all walks of life.

Moments like this remind me how powerful it is to carry our culture with pride, to belong, and to meet one another with open hearts.

If you stopped by our stall, said Kia Ora, or simply smiled as you walked past, thank you for being part of this weekend. We loved sharing it with you 🤍

🌿 Join us in celebrating Waitangi Day with Tumanako Māori Culture Group 🌿

We’ll be representing Aotearoa at the multicultural festival with our New Zealand stall on Bunda Street, by the Canberra Centre, Stall H52.

Come along to experience a little taste of home, including:
• New Zealand Tui Beer
• NZ wine
• NZ confectionery

We would love to see you there. Come say “Kia Ora” and introduce yourself, we’re always excited to connect with our wider community.

Expect good music, good vibes, and a beautiful celebration of culture.

See you there 🇳🇿✨
