They’ll be a lot of arts and craft as well including painting and graffiti art with traditional food available for sale.

The official part of the street festival will be a parade by schools in NCD and the police and CIS.

The show is described as one of the many colorful shows in Papua New Guinea where more than 70 to 100 groups part take to showcase their music, dance and of course- the colorful cultural attires.
