InMotion Matariki

InMotion Matariki is an accessible illuminated parade that celebrates Matariki, the Māori new year.

Participants decorate their bicycles and wheelchairs and enjoy pockets of performance as they roll through Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter.

The parade is created and presented by Touch Compass, New Zealand’s only disability-led professional performing arts organisation, combining artists with and without a disability.

InMotion Matariki Parade appeals to a diverse audience of children, families, creatives cyclists and the disability community. It stands out as one of few large-scale public events available to Aucklanders and visitors to the region, in the depths of winter.

InMotion Matariki Parade 2019 was proudly presented as part of Auckland’s Matariki Festival, and Elemental AKL, Auckland’s new winter festival, on Saturday 6th July 2019. We look forward to recreating this fantastic spectacle again in the future.
