More than 40 tourists were also there, at the Mt Hagen cultural show.
The event boasted colourfully adorned bodies and rich traditional attires. Dancers swayed to the beat of their kundu (hand) drums, making it difficult for onlookers to pick a group to watch.
The two-day show ended on a high note, although there were a few hiccups towards the end of the peaceful cultural celebrations.
The event was facilitated by the National Cultural Commission (NCC).
