Celebrating Matariki at Countdown
The appearance of Matariki in the morning sky in mid-winter marks Te Mātaki o te Tau or Māori New Year. The arrival of Matariki is a sign for people to gather, to honour the dead, celebrate the present and plan for the future.

This year, we were excited to celebrate Matariki with our team and customers across Aotearoa - it felt particularly special with this year being the first public holiday for Matariki. As a team we spent time reflecting and giving thanks for the year that
has been, we shared kai (and even managed a few hangi!), coloured in Te iwa o Matariki and made our wishes for the year ahead. It was a fantastic celebration and we’ll be looking forward to many more over the coming years - check out some of the photos.
