The Morobe Show is one of the oldest festivals in Papua New Guinea.
Originally a purely agricultural show, it is now Papua New Guinea's largest
festival, maintaining its agricultural focus, but with a large cultural
component. The agricutural component of the show allows visitors to learn about
the modern PNG economy and to learn about how various agricultural products are
grown and processed. The Morobe Show has perhaps the greatest variety of sing
sing groups of any of Papua New Guinea's cultural festivals with in excess of
80 sing sing groups, representing 13 of Papua New Guinea's 19 provinces
