​Rabaul blooms again with the Frangipani Festival

Now in its 21st year, the event will commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the twin volcanic eruptions and the 80th Anniversary of the 1937 eruptions where 200 people lost their lives.

The Frangipani Festival is also a time to celebrate Papua New Guinea’s 42nd year of independence.

A team of dedicated volunteers is currently finalising an exciting two-day program.
