Celebrating Waitangi Day and unity will be easy and full of fun for the community, as the day is packed with music, food, activities and culture.
Tauranga s Waitangi Day celebrations will begin early tomorrow morning, with the Tauranga Moana Waitangi Day Dawn Service.
The community is invited to the service to reflect and learn about the Treaty of Waitangi as Tauranga Moana honours 181 years since the historic signing.
The dawn service will be held at the base of Hopukiore (Mt Drury) and will start at 6.30am with a whakatau by Tauranga Moana Tangata Whenua, followed by a community celebration, speeches and hymns.
