2012 National Mask Festival Dates/Rabaul

Hello All,

Does anyone know the dates in July for the 2012 National Mask Festival in Rabaul?

I am receiving different information from different sites:

www.png-tourism.com indicates that it is July 11 - 13.

www.pngtourism.org indicates that it is July 18 - 22.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi, I have been told it starts on the 15th July with a parade with the main events on 16th & 17th! I am travelling from Cairns thru PNG Holidays and have been told it is not uncommon for the dates to change! hope i have it right!

Thanks for the info, chewy8!

Have you already booked your accomodation in Rabaul? I'm wondering if I should book a room in Rabaul far ahead of when I arrive there...

There are choices, but dont forget star value is a little different! and the mask festival is in the high season.

Didnt answer your question! yes we are booked thought it best.

looks like i got it wrong, it is on the 18 - 22nd darn thet travelagent!
