The National Cultural Commission (NCC) has presented K10,000 to support the 2025 Enga Cultural Show, reaffirming its commitment to preserving Papua New Guinea’s traditional heritage. NCC Executive Director Steven Enomb Kilanda presented the cheque to Tania Bale, CEO of the Enga Tourism Bureau, at a small ceremony in Port Moresby. He praised the show as one of PNG’s most authentic cultural events, free from modern influences, and noted Enga as the only province with a formal cultural centre. “This is something all Papua New Guineans should recognize; Enga stands out as the only province with a fully established cultural centre, and events like this play a key role in preserving and promoting true cultural heritage." Ms. Bale thanked the NCC for its continued support, saying the event promotes peace and unity in the province. “Their support also extends to smaller district-level shows across the province. In a time when Enga often makes headlines for the wrong reasons, these cultural events serve as a unifying force, promoting peace and community spirit.” The 2025 Enga Cultural Show will be held from August 8–10, featuring traditional sing- sings, performances, and cultural displays from across the Highlands. The event draws thousands of local and international visitors, supporting both tourism and cultural preservation.
