The Enga Cultural Show

Enga is PNG's highest province, located in the western Highlands. They hold a festival in August in Wabag, the province's capital, that features dozens of traditional acts from tribes all around the province. Discover Engan's famed sand painting, which is unique to the region, or attend one of the many dances and shows that are only performed in this area. Engan dancers with black-painted faces and distinctive headdresses are among them.

In the 1930s, Enga Province was the last of PNG's provinces to be engaged by the outside world. Traditional customs, rituals, and lifestyles are still observed daily. The Enga Cultural Show was founded to preserve and celebrate traditional knowledge in the face of modernization. You may truly immerse yourself in one of the world's final frontiers of continuous and living indigenous culture here.
