Goroka Show Information & Goroka Show Links at HealthHaven.com

Goroka Show is a probably the most known tribal gathering and cultural event in Papua New Guinea. It is held every year close to the Independence Day (16 September) in the town of Goroka. About 100 tribes arrive to show their music, dance and culture. This festival started in the mid 1950s from the initiative of Australian Kiaps. In recent years it became an attractive tourist destination because it is one of a few opportunities to see the traditional tribal culture.
