Matariki is more than our newest public holiday - it's quickly become one of the significant windows in the creative calendar. 

Just as celebrating this time across the motu is about whānau and reconnection - so too is it a time to celebrate toi Māori and the events that add to the occasion spiritually, culturally and artistically.

The Big Idea will again be providing a spotlight on what's happening and where to find it across the whole period of Matariki, no matter where it is in Aotearoa.

With four promotion levels over four regions there is plenty of opportunity for your event to get noticed this Matariki. 

But don't delay, contact advertising@thebigidea.co.nz now to secure your spot.
