How cool is that ;).
I was so excited :).
By the time we prepared for this event, we got super excited as this is going to be thevery first time ever we have Indonesian street festival.
If you remeber, we had Pesta Rakyat @NYC last year and you can read the story here.
We have similar concept but this time we held it on the street!
I was so overtaken by meetings and other events that I didn't realized that the time has come for this first ever Indonesian Street Festival in NYC.
Get closer, explore, fall in ❤️❤️❤️ and join us :).

Held on the 68th st between Madison and 5th Avenue, New York City, this street festival was conducted right in front of the Consulate General of Indonesia in NYC.
It is conducted on the ocassion of the 70th anniversary of Indonesia, which we celebrated last August 17th. And it was officially opened by the Indonesian Consul General for NYC, Mr. Ghafur Dharmaputra.
And we welcome everyone to come and explore the beauty of my beloved country, Indonesia.
It is indeed fulled with non-stop Indonesian traditional performances, quizzes, fashion shows, culinary experience and free batik and calligraphy workshops. We even have a cool doorprize of return air ticket to Indonesia - NYC. Super cool :).
