Tauranga Moana Waitangi Day Dawn Service
The Tauranga Moana Waitangi Day Dawn Service is an annual gathering held at Hopukiore (Mount Drury Reserve) in Mount Maunganui.
Waitangi Day is Aotearoa New Zealand’s national day and is our opportunity to gather to commemorate the first signing of our country’s founding document: Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the Treaty of Waitangi, on 6 February 1840.
All are welcome to gather at Hopukiore from 6am. The service starts at 6.30am and will include a welcome by tangata whenua, kapa haka, and guest speakers.
