The Goroka Show is held every year, during the weekend closest to Independence Day (16th September) in the town of Goroka.
More than 100 tribes participate in the event performing extraordinary displays of traditional song, ritual and dance.
The staging of the Goroka Show began in 1957 at the Independence Park, opposite the Goroka main market.
The show was first introduced and organized by Australian patrol officers or 'kiaps'. Kiaps from each district built round houses typical of their districts where they displayed the various and unique cultures of the people living there. The kiaps brought in 'sing-sing' groups from surrounding areas. It created an entertaining weekend for everyone in the Province helping people forget their tribal differences. The show then was also a competition to see who was the best organized and administered district.
