Waitangi Day

Waitangi Day in Ipswich is a vibrant celebration of Māori culture, food, and community, and we're inviting all to be part of this special day.
Waitangi Day commemorates the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840 — a foundational moment in Māori history that represents partnership, respect, and unity. For Māori and our fellow Kiwis, this day holds deep meaning. It gives our Māori community here in Ipswich the opportunity to celebrate and honour our indigenous culture from Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Come celebrate culture, community, and connection at Waitangi Day in Ipswich — honouring our roots, our stories, and our shared journey.
