Pasin Tumbuna Festival set for this weekend

Port Moresby Nature Park, in partnership with PNG Tourism Promotion Authority, is set to host Pasin Tumbuna Festival, on Sunday 19 August 2018.

It will be a fascinating twist on the standard festival with the focus firmly on traditional skills and knowledge.

The event will showcase the skill and expertise involved with traditional crafts including carving, basket weaving and bilum making.

This will be the third year that the Nature Park has put on the event with the support and backing of the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority

The festival will also coincide with the third APEC Senior Officials Meeting and provides a great opportunity to showcase PNG culture to the international guests.

There will be lots of opportunities for the Port Moresby community to learn and interact with the craftsman and women.

Also featured on that day will be the making of traditional foods, bilas preparation, activities, games, food tasting and demonstrations.
