Jakarta Provincial Government will hold Jakarta Fair (PRJ) again in Monas. This event shows entertainment and creative multi-products exhibitions to welcome the 487th Anniversary of Jakarta. The city will not charge any residents during the six days PRJ implementation from June 10 to June 15 at Silang Monas area, Central Jakarta.
All free, Jakarta residents please come and enjoy it
Jakarta Vice Governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, said that this event is held for city residents to enjoy the real folk party atmosphere that started to erode in the previous annual event of PRJ Kemayoran. Basuki affirmed that the visitors will not be charged or can enter free because it is the goal of the Jakarta Provincial Government to provide an opportunity for residents to enjoy the city anniversary.
"All free, Jakarta residents please come and enjoy it," said Basuki, Wednesday (5/28).
