Te wiki o te Reo Maori is drawing to a close, with the finale being held at the markets on the waterfront this Sunday. This year’s theme is ‘te mahi kai’ (the language of food) and what better place to celebrate than the food markets on Wellington’s waterfront.
So go grab your fruit, vege and gourmet goodies from Harbourside and City Markets and live the language of food in te reo. There will be biligual signage, haka, waiata and the release of the a biligual CD of songs Tipi Haere Te Reo.
Formalities kick of 8.00am at Harbourside Market and there will be entertainment until midday.
Over at the City Market (inside the Chaffers apartment building) they will be doing what they do best: making us drool with treats from their kitchen.
