The rising of Puanga and the Matariki star cluster is a time to reflect on the past and remember our loved ones who have passed away, celebrate the present, and prepare for the new year ahead.
As part of our Matariki Ahi Kā event (Wellington Waterfront, Thursday 27–Sunday 30 June 2024), we will honour people who have passed away since last Matariki by displaying their names and a message on a memorial projection on the side of Te Papa (view on Google Maps).
If you’d like to put forward the name of a loved one with a message for inclusion in the projection, please complete the details below.
Please note: While we will endeavour to include all names and messages received, Wellington City Council cannot guarantee the inclusion of the information you provide. Wellington City Council will not be held responsible for the accuracy of the information provided, and cannot provide the timing of, or how often it may be displayed. Inappropriate language will not be accepted.
