Papua New Guinea in Colours

The bright colors of the annual Goroka Singing Festival

Every September, the small town of Goroka turns into bright colours as the Papa New Guinean tribes come from across the country and small islands, dressed in their traditional outfits, to dance in the Sing Sing festival. 

Every year in September, since 1957, the small Eastern Highlands town of Goroka turns into bright colours as the Papa New Guinean tribes come from across the country and its small islands, dressed in their traditional outfits, to dance in the Singsing festival. This is primarily to show off their colours.  Papua New Guinea is substantially more expensive than Japan or even Scandinavia. However, it is unquestionably one of the most amazing places on earth!
