CancelledPuanga on a Plate

Puanga on a Plate is a vibrant food festival that celebrates Puanga Matariki with a delicious twist.  

The event is a culinary journey where local restaurants are showcasing their creativity by crafting dishes that resonate with the Puanga Matariki themes of: 

• Remembrance - honouring those we have lost since the last rising of Matariki. 
• Celebrating the present - gathering together to give thanks for what we have. 
• Looking to the future - looking forward to the promise of a new year. 

Come together with whānau and friends to enjoy kai and community at one of the amazing local restaurants participating in this year's Puanga on a Plate competition.  

Did you know? The different stars in the Matariki cluster have an association to the various domains from where we source our food: 

• Waitī – tied to freshwater bodies and the food sources within them.
• Waitā – associated with the ocean and seafood.
• Tupuānuku – linked to food that grows in the ground.
• Tupuārangi – linked to food that comes from the air, such as birds and fruits.
