NZ Expats Celebrate Waitangi Day in London, the “Kiwi Way”
New Zealand expats celebrated Waitangi Day this year as joyously it should be! Although the liquor ban was being implemented through the whole of Westminister, the crowd was in good spirits and well-behaved.
Waitangi Day commemorates a significant day in the history of New Zealand. It is a public holiday held each year on 6 February to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand’s founding document, on that date in 1840.
“London’s iconic parliament buildings became a jungle gym as thousands of Kiwis celebrating Waitangi Day descended on the square.
‘It’s way better than New Zealand because in New Zealand it’s a very sad day, political day and it’s all about ‘my land, your land’. But over here it’s all about fun and being proud to be a Kiwi,’ says expat New Zealander Stephanie Scott.”
