About local holidays
New Zealand observes eleven national public holidays plus each province's anniversary (Wellington on Jan 22, Auckland on Jan 29, etc.). Waitangi Day (Feb 6) commemorates the 1840 treaty between the Crown and 540 Māori chiefs. ANZAC Day (Apr 25) honours the Gallipoli soldiers, shared with Australia. Matariki, the Māori New Year (Pleiades rising in June-July), has been a holiday since 2022 — NZ's first public holiday rooted in Tāngata Whenua culture.
