Special festivals in Guinea

Papua New Guineans (PNG) have a cultural legacy as diverse as the nation itself. Local tribes may be found all around the country, from the highlands to the tropical islands. The region's spectacular scenery and animals inspire PNG's colorful tribespeople, and their distinct traditions and rituals have developed over decades due to their distance from one another. Festivals, often known as sing-sings, are a riot of color, extravagant attire, and pounding drums. Here are some of the best festivals in Papua New Guinea that visitors to this magnificent country should not miss.

The Goroka Show is one of the country's most well-known cultural festivals. Set amid the natural beauty and rolling mountains of the Highlands Region, this magnificent celebration attracts guests from all over the world, and the town's population surges to about 150,000 people for two days in mid-September. On the country's Independence Day weekend, they congregate at Goroka's National Sports Institute to see performances from several tribes. Performers dress up with feathers and body paints that are exclusive to their cultures. Many wear headdresses that would make an ornithologist blush — feathers from birds of paradise are boldly displayed alongside those from other rare bird species.
