# Middle Sepik Festival - July 1-3, 2008 Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
jonesurfer 19:47 UTC 27 Mar 2008 | My fiancee and I just returned from a great trip to PNG... can't recommend it enough. I'll post some sort of trip report soon, but first I wanted to let everyone know about this... Palambit Hausboi 40th Anniversary Celebration 1-3rd July 2008 Palimbe Village Wosera Gawi District (Middle Sepik) A bunch of the clans in this region are getting together for a 3 day celebration in Palimbe (which has a great ceremonial grounds with two Spirit Houses and the remains of a much older one) - lots of dancing, music, demonstrations, etc... It sounds like it will be an amazing time. I'm guessing that all of the local tour operators and guides know about the festival and will be happy to arrange transport and lodging. If you want more information or a great guide (with his own boat) you can contact: Cyril Tara c/o Catholic Mission Timbunke Village Kamanibit Wewak, East Sepik Province, PNG sepikarts@yahoo.com.au (Cyril checks this email directly but he does share it with his sister - I think someone else posted it as his sister's email address) |
