🪶 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.

🪶 The 2025 Hiri Moale Festival will take place from April 3rd to 6th in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea’s capital.
This iconic festival celebrates the historic Hiri trading voyages of the seafaring Motuans of Central Province, who journeyed to the Gulf Province aboard the lakatoi—a large, multi-hulled sailing canoe. These voyages saw the Motuans trading their clay pots for sago and other traditional goods with the Gulf people. Despite the challenges of dangerous storms and rough seas, these trading journeys forged enduring friendships and lineal ties, a legacy still evident today through the Hiri Motu language.
The festival is a vibrant celebration of Motuan culture, featuring traditional songs, dances, and rituals that reflect the Hiri trade’s significance. It also honors the cultural connections between the Motuans and their historical trading partners, including the Gulf, Mekeo, Hula, and Koiari communities.
A key attraction of the festival is the Hiri Hanenamo contest, where young Motuan women compete for the title of “Hiri Queen.” Contestants are judged on their knowledge and display of traditional Motuan culture, highlighting the importance of preserving heritage.
The Hiri Moale Festival is a vibrant celebration of resilience, culture, and unity, offering visitors an opportunity to experience Papua New Guinea’s rich traditions and history.
