Christchurch's first Matariki fireworks display to go ahead

Live entertainment and food trucks will be in place in New Brighton Mall from 6pm.
The fireworks, which will cost $30,000 plus GST, will also mark the end of the inaugural Tīrama Mai lighting event, which will feature a series of lighting installations, projections and illuminated artworks created by some of Canterbury’s best lighting artists.
The Tīrama Mai lighting trails will be open between 6pm and 11pm from June 25 to July 10.

The Christchurch Is Lit light festival was held in 2020, including at New Regent St, pictured. This year, the city will celebrate a new light festival, called Tīrama Mai, to coincide with Matariki.

Central Christchurch to be lit up for Matariki

The light festival replaced the popular Botanic D'Lights event, which attracted 136,000 people when it was last held in 2018.
Cokojic said Tīrama Mai – meaning to illuminate or bring light - would be the city’s first lighting event held specifically to coincide with Matariki.
“We want it to grow to become a highly collaborative festival, with mana whenua guiding cultural elements and design.”
The lighting trails would be open daily between 6pm and 11pm from June 25 to July 10.
Installations would be set up around The Arts Centre, Christchurch Art Gallery, Worcester Blvd, Victoria Square, the Ōtākaro Avon River Precinct, New Regent St and New Brighton.

Ten years on, the earthquake still casts its shadow over Christchurch's past, present and future

When the deadly second earthquake struck Christchurch ten years ago today, among the many things toppled by natural forces were statues of the city's founding father John Robert Godley, colonial politician William Rolleston and imperial hero Robert Falcon Scott.

When the deadly second earthquake struck Christchurch 10 years ago today, among the many things toppled by natural forces were statues of the city's founding father John Robert Godley, colonial politician William Rolleston and imperial hero Robert Falcon Scott.
Far worse things happened, of course, but this break with the past came to feel powerfully symbolic.
My 2016 book Christchurch Ruptures was in large part about the risks of our thinking being trapped in the past and attempting to put things back as they were. Might letting these statues go allow the city to leave behind the colonial attitudes and practices they represented?
