Have you gone to the Jakarta Fair? If you haven’t, no biggies. The Kemayoran Jakarta Fair is still open until July 17. There are many activities that you can do at the Jakarta Fair. Starting from watching fireworks, culinary hunting, shopping, to watching concerts of many famous musicians. The Jakarta Provincial Government and Jakarta Smart City also enliven the event with a variety of activities that you can participate in. Oops, the concert is not free. You have to buy a separate ticket to watch the performances. In order for you to have a better idea of the event, here are some festive portraits of the Kemayoran Jakarta Fair.

Before The Gate

The JIExpo C1 Hall page is indeed full of visitors. However, it’s under control and you can still keep other people away. Before the entrance, there is a counter for those of you who want to buy tickets on the spot.

Don’t worry if you use a private vehicle. The JIExpo parking lot is spacious enough. But if you want to anticipate not getting a parking lot or traffic jam, you can come by using public transportation. TransJakarta provides a fleet with a special route to the Jakarta Fair.

Explore Various Booths at the Jakarta Provincial Government Pavilion

The Jakarta Provincial Government also enlivened the event through its own pavilion. By visiting the pavilion, you can see the provincial government’s programs and participate in the activities provided, such as downloading and signing in to the JakOne Mobile application to get a free balance! If you want to ask questions, there are attendants who are on standby.

At the provincial government pavilion, there are also booths from various Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD). One of them is Jakarta Smart City.

Easier and more sophisticated, Bank DKI invites visitors to experience transactions using JakOne Pay. Starting from scanning QRIS to make payments to other electronic money activities, all can be done at your fingertips!

JakLingko provides a variety of services that support the convenience of public transportation in Jakarta. Want to know more? You can visit the booth.

This one must not be forgotten, Jakarta Smart City. Comes with its blue trademark color, it is ready to help you explore and know more about its own company and the implementation of the smart city ecosystem in Jakarta.

At the JSC booth, you can do a virtual tour of Bidadari Island as part of the Digital Nomad Island program. What is Digital Nomad Island? In short, this is a program created by the Jakarta Provincial Government to facilitate people to work from anywhere and anytime in public spaces and islands around Jakarta.

Through one corner of the Jakarta Smart City booth, you can also see our achievements in the last few years. The most recent is JSC’s winning at the 2022 WSIS Prizes in the ICT Applications category: e-Science for Flood Control System.

Shopping, Culinary, to Formula E

Along your journey to explore Jakarta Fair, on the right and left, you can find lots of booths that you can visit. In line with Jakarta’s spirit of promoting local products for the domestic and international market, The Jakarta Fair provides various products with good quality that can compete with foreign products. There are various types of products marketed, such as fashion, handicrafts, furniture, and others. If you’re lucky, you might find products with discounts or door prizes!

Are you starting to get hungry after walking around? A variety of foods from dozens of SMEs are ready to pamper your tongue.

One more interesting thing! After making the history of the first electric car race in Indonesia through Formula e, Jakarta also presents a special spot at Jakarta Fair for visitors who want to take a closer look at the electric racing car models.

Enjoy Live Performances and Fireworks Party

The atmosphere of the Jakarta Fair is getting more lively with performances from various talents and communities. Speaking of Jakarta’s birthday, it’s incomplete without ondel-ondel, an icon of Betawi culture. Therefore, one of the highlights of this agenda is the ondel-ondel parade that was taken place on June 21 and 22, 2022, at 4–9 p.m.

At 9 pm on June 21, a fireworks display began to be held on the Jakarta Fair Main Stage. The cheers of visitors combined with the sound and lights of fireworks made the Jakarta Fair even more lively. During the Jakarta Fair, fireworks were held 3 times; at the opening, at the anniversary night of Jakarta, and at the closing of the Jakarta Fair on 17 July.

It is obvious that there are still many exciting moments of the Jakarta Fair that cannot be expressed by words nor captured by camera. Therefore, the best way for you to enjoy it is to come along to the Jakarta Fair, while it still lasts. To make it more exciting, you can also invite your friends, colleagues, partner, or family to visit. It’s Jakarta’s birthday, but we can all have fun and celebrate!
