Mount Hagen

Mount Hagen is best known within Papua New Guinea for the annual Mount Hagen Cultural Show, where Highland communities present ceremonial dress, dance and music. The town lies in the Wahgi Valley of the Western Highlands, amid an upland farming district where coffee is an important crop. Busy markets and transport links give it a practical role as a regional centre, while the surrounding highlands remain central to everyday life and local identity. The show has made Mount Hagen one of the country’s best-known places to encounter traditions from Papua New Guinea’s interior.
