Raun Raun Theatre

Raun Raun Theatre is the cultural heart of Goroka, hosting vibrant performances that blend traditional Highlands dance, music, and storytelling with contemporary theater. Visitors can experience the energy of local troupes rehearsing or catch a scheduled show that often features elaborate bilas (traditional adornments) and chanting. The venue also serves as a key stage during the annual Goroka Show, where tribes from across Papua New Guinea gather to display their unique customs. It's an intimate setting to witness living traditions in action.
