We present local wisdom from each island in Seribu Islands

Seribu Islands Deputy Regent Muhammad Fadjar Churniawan said the event initiated by the Seribu Islands Cultural Sub-agency is part of a series of events commemorating the Islands' 23rd anniversary.

"We present local wisdom from each island in Seribu Islands," he expressed, Friday (10/25).

Besides facilitating artists to showcase local wisdom, it is also an effort to improve the economy of the residents. Therefore, he hoped that similar events would be a routine agenda in the future.

Seribu Islands Culture Sub-agency Head, Harry Dwirendra added there is a series of training, development, and cultural protection activities in the region.

Some of the events include a cultural parade from six urban villages, MSME bazaars, a culinary cooking competition featuring typical Seribu Islands cuisine, a boat decorating competition, traditional dance performances, and musical entertainment.

"As planned, it will be a routine agenda with alternating locations. This year it was held on Untung Jawa Island," he stated.
