On July 3, Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, held a light show to celebrate the Maori New Year.

From June 19 to July 11 this year, New Zealanders ushered in the Maori New Year.

A series of traditional celebrations such as light show, firework show, theatrical performance, kite festival, food, tree planting will be held nationwide.

In February 2021, Prime Minister Ardern of New Zealand announced that starting from 2022, the first day of the Maori New Year will be a public holiday, and the country will be celebrated with a day off.
