Yesterday, the 28th of June, was a Matariki public holiday in New Zealand. Yeah, some of you are only waking up to the 28th now, we live in the future here 😀

Jokes aside, it was a beautiful holiday with lights displayed in the city center across the country. Here in Christchurch, I went out after dinner to see the lights, and wow, I was amazed at how the city was packed with people out to celebrate and take photos 📸

The Matariki holiday is a Maori celebration of the stars, and it also means a time to be thankful for harvest.

This is my first Matariki celebration in NZ, I hope to celebrate a lot more.

Very beautiful night to say the least I was glad to go out to celebrate with locals considering I don't go out at night

We have not gone out in years, I would imagine good fun in safe region where everyone gets out on the night.

And not having to be vigilant of my phone getting stolen. It is so nice and peaceful ✌️

Makes a massive difference not living off ones nerves in countries where you feel safe. !LUV
