🪶 The Kenu and Kundu Festival returns to Alotau, 1st – 3rd of November, 2025, Milne Bay Province.
Traditional canoes and Kundu drums are significant symbols of communication and trade to the people of Milne Bay.
The Canoe and the Kundu are widely used in traditional ceremonies and rituals. They are meticulously crafted from special woods under strict customs to derive the best results.
The Kenu and Kundu Festival was first held in Milne Bay in 2003. The canoes that are used in the festival are crafted in the same way that the canoes were crafted many years ago by the ancestors of the Milne Bay people.
The colours and patterns reflect the tribe and the area the canoe comes from. The canoes and traditional dancing groups come from all over the Milne Bay province, including some parts of the Papuan Region and other areas of the country – creating a rich variety of performances.
Prizes are given to winning groups and the canoes are assembled a day earlier at Wagawaga village, to form a convoy before sailing to Alotau for the official opening ceremony.

🪶 The Bundi Komba Festival is an annual cultural event hosted by the Kumura Foundation – a local charity organisation founded by Vincent Kumura, a proud Bundi local from Madang Province.
The annual festival promotes and strengthens the cultural traditions of the Bundi people living in the furthermost interior of Madang. Some fascinating cultural performances include the Bundi Burning Head Dancers, and other dances from the villages of Emigari, Kaima Miri and more.
Sponsorship funding from the festival is used to support health outreach, medical supplies and build local infrastructure for local villages in the Bundi area.
The Bundi Komba festival promotes local traditional knowledge, especially local cuisine, celebrating highly valued traditional crops like the ‘komba’ or marita fruit, as well as an abundance of unique plant-life from the area.
Attending the festival is challenging yet rewarding, and involves taking a 4WD from either Madang or Simbu, crossing difficult terrain, then trekking through remote jungles. An above average level of fitness is required for the journey. Despite the difficulty in getting there, experiencing the festival, however, is a remarkable once-in-a-lifetime achievement. Guests will always travel in the company of the Kumura Foundation team, especially the founder, Vincent Kumura.
