Flower Week (Te Mire Tiare)

Late Nov & early Dec

This colourful annual festival produces great excitement and features competitions for the best florally decorated shops, schools and government buildings, each one on a different day of the week-long festivities.

Things generally kick off at the Punanga Nui marketplace on the first Saturday of the festival, then wrap up with a colourful float parade and crowning of Maine Tiare and Tama Aito, the festival ‘king and queen’, on the following Saturday.
