It will be a cultural event like never before.
That’s what Port Moresby Nature Park says about its inaugural cultural day to be held this month.
The event initially scheduled for September 3 was moved further into the month to September 24.
The event’s new theme is “Pasin Tumbuna Day" – day of our ancestors and will be hosted at the park.
The event will be hosted in conjunction with National Cultural Commission, Tourism Promotion Authority and NARI (National Agriculture Research Institute).
This will be the first time these organisations have all come together to showcase the connection of Papua New Guinean culture with plants and animals, whilst highlighting the diversity of cultures in PNG and the role that traditional cultural practices have and can play in species conservation.
The event will be completely unique in its approach to other cultural celebrations with the focus on learning and the development of a deeper appreciation of cultural diversity.
It will include a number of interactive displays including traditional weaving, fire making, live carving demonstrations, traditional games and activities and regional food tasting, amongst other scheduled events.
Gate fees will be charged: Adults – K7, Students – K4 and Kids (3-5 yrs) – K3.
