The National Gaming Control Board (NGCB) is sponsoring the 2025 Goroka Show with K400,000.
This year NGCB will be maintaining its position as the official and the naming rights sponsor for the 2025 Goroka Show.
The 69th NGCB Goroka Show will be staged from the 19th to 21st September 2025 at the National Sports Institute (NSI) in Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province under the inspiring theme, “Unity in Diversity.”
NGCB CEO, Ms. Imelda Agon, said the NGCB is proud to support the Goroka Show for the thirteenth consecutive year, celebrating Papua New Guinea’s cultural richness.
“This sponsorship reflects the organization’s deep commitment to cultural preservation and tourism promotion,” Ms. Agon said.
“The Goroka Show has always been a platform that unites our people, celebrates our unique identity, and showcases Papua New Guinea to the world. This year, NGCB is proud to continue its support to ensure that the Show is bigger, brighter, and more memorable than ever before.
Our sponsorship is more than financial backing – it is a statement of pride in our heritage, our people, and our nation’s journey. NGCB is honoured to walk alongside Papua New Guinea as we celebrate our unity in diversity and the dreams of our forefathers for a united, prosperous nation,” Ms. Agon said.
Chairlady of the Goroka Show Committee, Mrs. Keryn Hargreaves, expressed her heartfelt appreciation for NGCB’s unwavering support over the years.
“The NGCB has been a loyal partner of the Goroka Show for over a decade, and we are more than grateful for your support again this year,” said Ms. Hargreaves.
The Goroka Show continues to bring together singsing groups, cultural performers, and artisans from across the country to showcase the vibrant heritage of Papua New Guinea. It stands as one of the country’s most significant and oldest cultural festivals, attracting international tourists while creating economic opportunities for local communities through art, culture, and tourism.
Through this sponsorship, NGCB once again reaffirms its commitment to preserving culture, promoting tourism, and strengthening national unity, as Papua New Guinea proudly celebrates its diversity, resilience, and cultural identity.
