Despite the rainy season, residents turned up at the Botanical Gardens to take part in the cultural festivities commemorating PNG’s 48th Independence anniversary, hosted on Friday, September 15th, and Saturday, September 16th.
Facilitated by the Lae Tourism Bureau, executive officer, Maine Winny, said despite the downpour, LaeFest was a great success.
“We chose the Lae Botanical Gardens to host this trial run because we believe that it will be our future tourism hub,” Winny stated.
