The koroneihana (meaning 'coronation') is the week-long annual celebration of the anniversary of the Māori monarch's accession and coronation.[1] It is held at the monarch's official residence of Tūrangawaewae marae in Ngāruawāhia in the Waikato.[2]

In 2024, the koroneihana was held in August to coincide with the 18th anniversary of King Tūheitia's accession.[3]
