Guest artist for the night will be rap juggernaut Kaleb Vitale, aka K.One, who was born and raised in Masterton. His song So Long with Scribe is the latest in a mounting list of big name collaborations off his debut album, Far From Home.
Over the past several years Vitale has worked with Opshop's Jason Kerrigan, J. Williams and his childhood idol, Che Fu.
"I'm starting to get hooked up with all the artists I looked up to.
That was one of my goals," Vitale said. The 25-year-old former wairarapa forestry worker is also now gaining a foothold in Australia and has set his sights on Europe and "possibly" a new sound.
Ms Hill says Matariki is one of those unique events which has the power to bring people together to inspire unity among the various communities in the district.
"We're so lucky to have a homegrown artist like K.One come home to perform for Matariki.
"He's an inspiration for our youth," she said.
"This is one of those rare opportunities where Wairarapa gets to showcase its local talent, especially local music talent.
"It's a whanau atmosphere where the whole community comes out to support Matariki, it's awesome," she said.
The event will end with a fireworks display set to Maori music, she said, which will hopefully be a spectacle "the whole community will enjoy".
She said it would be the fourth Matariki fireworks display the pyrotechnics team has completed in a month and reviews of the previous show had been "fantastic", she said.
Matariki is a small cluster of stars known as the Pleiades and translated means tiny eyes, or eyes of God.
Matariki appears from late May in the western dawn skies, where the star system remains until the end of June.
