SingSing Groups Parading into the Arena

Kaye and a Mt. Hagen Woman

The SingSing is a competition among Highland groups, who dress up in traditional outfits, decorated with beautiful feathers and shells, and sing and dance or act out events and legends. It truly exceeded all our expectations in terms of the number of participants and the professional quality of the dress and entertainment. Many paint their faces and bodies. This is a Mt. Hagen woman with Kaye. We watched an hour-and-a-half parade as the 2000 performers entered the main arena, which was a large rugby field. Our tickets also allowed us to mingle with the performers, as they were preparing for the show, and to go onto the field after the judging. It was an incredible photo opportunity!!! Unfortunately, we can only show a couple of groups here.
