Now in its 26th year, the event will commemorate the 28th anniversary of the twin volcanic eruptions and the 85th Anniversary of the 1937 eruptions, where 200 people lost their lives.

The Frangipani Festival is also a time to celebrate Papua New Guinea’s 47th year of Independence.

Susie McGrade, member of the organising committee, says the two-day program with the theme: ‘Bringing the communities of ENB together’ will kick off on Friday, 17 September, with an Independence anniversary flag ceremony.
