Waitangi – For the Love of the People is being driven by Tunohopu Marae Trust, and is a community event for Rotorua residents and visitors to our city to enjoy.

There will be a strong Ngati Whakaue and Te Arawa whanau influence and presence on the day, supported by our wider community of cultures living in Rotorua. Eight themes will be showcased in a variety of ways which acknowledge, promote and celebrate who we are and what we are about.
