THERE are over seven (7) million people living in Papua New Guinea – more than a third of them in the rugged Highlands. The traditional Melanesian cultures are kept alive in elaborate rituals that accompany deaths, feasts, marriages, compensation ceremonies and initiation rites. One of these is the 2017 Hagen Show which is to take place in Mt. Hagen, August 19 - 20.
Tribes from all over the Western Highlands Province of #PapuaNewGuinea and other neighboring provinces from the Highlands region will gather in the township of Mt. Hagen to put on exciting cultural performances involving traditional dances, singing and ritual - rivaling that of the Goroka Show.
The Hagen Show was first staged in 1961 before PNG's Independence as an event to unify tribes.
Local entertainers from the modern music scene will perform during the show. Arts and crafts will also be on display.
