The annual Sing-Sing in Mt. Hagen attracts 50-100 tribes from the highlands. They arrive early morning and spend a couple hours putting on makeup, creating their head dresses (from stratch, on the day), and gladly posing for pictures before the show starts in the afternoon. Upon entering the Sing-Sing, they will play drums, chant their tribes songs and parade around the grounds. The intricate head dresses, tribal jewellery and colorful costumes show how talented they really are. The Sing-Sing is usually every August. Tickets and hotel accommodation well in advance.
