It will be made as lively as possible

Seribu Islands Parekraf Sub-agency Head, Sonti Pangaribuan expressed the Seribu Island Festival would involve dozens of MSMEs with the aim of preserving different and unique island local specialties.

There would also be performances of artistic attractions on an open entertainment stage that could be enjoyed by tourists and the local community.

"It will be made as lively as possible by performing dangdut and jazz music genres. We also present Capital City artists such as Sisitipsi and Irma Darmawangsa," she said, Friday (7/7).

It was scheduled to be held in conjunction with the Seribu Islands Abang None (Abnon) Final Night event at Seribu Islands Regency Plaza on July 14.
