Te Herenga Waka o Orewa community marae in Silverdale is holding a Waitangi Day celebration on Thursday, February 6 and the whole community is invited.

The marae’s event organiser, Pip Speedy, says there will be a bigger focus on workshops and presentations this year, whereas in the past it was more about entertainment.

The options include a treaty workshop by Coast Action Collective, as well as a Rongoa (traditional Māori healing) workshop.

There will be arts and crafts /mahi toi – arts with a Māori theme, including weaving – supported by Estuary Arts Centre. A food truck will be on site.

The event takes place at the marae, 2A Blue Gum Ave, Silverdale, from 10am-2pm
