The Sepik River Crocodile & Arts Festival is a vibrant three-day cultural celebration held annually in Ambunti, deep in the heart of the Sepik River region.
The festival honours the crocodile’s powerful cultural significance to the people of the Sepik River. In Sepik tradition, the crocodile symbolises strength, power, and manhood, with stories, beliefs, and ceremonies connected to this ancient animal passed down through generations.
One of the festival’s most significant traditions is the renowned skin-cutting initiation ceremony, where ceremonial scars are cut into the skin to resemble the textured back of a crocodile — marking an important rite of passage into manhood.
Set along one of the Asia-Pacific’s largest river systems, the festival brings together communities from across the Sepik for traditional sing-sing performances, canoe races, cultural displays, music, dance, and art.
Visitors can experience the rich traditions of the Sepik River people while exploring a region famous for its spirit houses, carvings, and strong cultural identity.
Held annually from 5–7 August.

Set high in the lush mountains of Papua New Guinea’s Eastern Highlands, the Goroka Show is one of the country’s most iconic cultural events—and in 2026, it proudly marks its 70th Anniversary.
First staged in the late 1950s as a way to bring together diverse highlands communities, the show has grown into Papua New Guinea’s longest-running cultural festival and one of the most extraordinary tribal gatherings in the world.
Each year, over 100 tribes from across the country converge in Goroka to take part in the vibrant “sing-sing”—a spectacular display of traditional dance, music, and ceremonial dress.
Feathers, face paint, bilas, and rhythmic kundu drums transform the showgrounds into a sea of colour and sound. Every performance tells a story—of ancestry, identity, and connection to land—making the Goroka Show not just an event, but a living expression of Papua New Guinea’s cultural heritage.
What began as an initiative to promote peace and unity among tribes has evolved into a powerful symbol of national identity.
Held annually during the week of Papua New Guinea’s Independence Day, the Goroka Show brings people together in celebration—bridging generations, languages, and traditions in a way that few events can.
In 2026, the Goroka Show celebrates its 70th edition, marking seven decades of cultural preservation, storytelling, and shared experience.
This milestone year is more than an anniversary—it’s a tribute to the communities who have kept traditions alive, the performers who continue to inspire, and the visitors who return year after year to witness something truly unforgettable.
The Goroka Show takes place every September in Goroka, in Papua New Guinea’s Eastern Highlands, typically during Independence Week. Whether you’re a cultural enthusiast, photographer, or curious traveler, this is one of the most unique festival experiences on earth.
