About Matariki (New Zealand)

Matariki is a public holiday in New Zealand.

In 2027 it falls on a Friday; in 2028 it’s on Friday 14 July, and in 2029 on Friday 6 July. Because it’s a Friday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in June 2027: Day of the Seafarer (25 Jun), Midsummer (Sweden) (25 Jun) and National Catfish Day (25 Jun). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
