Celebrating our Taranakitanga

Tiripoua Day 17 February 2019

Tiripoua Day was first commemorated in February 2018 at Oākura to acknowledge the settlement journey, the ups and downs and those who had contributed and sacrificed so much.

23 February 2017 is the day that we recognise as the completion of the settlement so each year on the weekend closest to that date we have established Tiripoua Day to bring our Taranaki Iwi uri together and celebrate being us. This year we held the event at Opunakē Beach with a day of relaxation, music, kai and activities for pahake, matua, taiohi and tamariki.
