Rotorua Lakes Council wants to make this year's Matariki celebrations in Rotorua the best so far by promoting events around the region.

The council wants to hear from anyone organising a free community event to mark the occasion so it can promote it alongside other events taking place in the district.

There are already fantastic events on offer including the Matariki All Stars Parade on June 16, the Matariki Star Search showcasing some of the fantastic talent around Rotorua, plus crafts, workshops, talks, exhibitions and more.

If your event is free, celebrates an aspect of Matariki and falls between June 8-30 the council would like to support you.

A range of marketing material is being produced to publicise everything that's happening around Rotorua for Matariki.
