Jakarta Fair Kemayoran 2016: The Largest and Most Festive Fair in Indonesia

In conjunction with the anniversary of Jakarta which falls on 22nd June, the metropolitan capital city will again stage its annual mega exhibition and entertainment show for over a full month when the Jakarta Fair Kemayoran 2016 takes place from 10th June to 17th July 2016 at the Jakarta International Exhibition Center, Kemayoran. Scheduled to open for over a whole month period, this is undisputedly the largest and most festive fair in Indonesia.

As always, the event will feature pavilions from provincial governments, corporations, and small and medium scale enterprises. Various top products from all scales of businesses will fill booths and pavilions at the sprawling Jakarta International Exhibition Center at Kemayoran. The fair will also be enhanced with various art performances to entertain visitors, ranging from spectacular musical shows from top artists of the country, the Miss Jakarta Fair Beauty Pageant, Carnivals, and many others.

Coinciding with the Muslim’s fasting month of Ramadhan and the Eid al-Fitr celebration, this year organizers will also provide takjil (snacks and beverages) for visitors to break their fast. The organizers will also transform concert stages as the place where visitors can conduct their Maghrib and Tarawih prayers in congregation (jamaah) since the stage areas can hold thousands of people.

This year, there will be over 2500 booths and pavilions showcasing some of the best products on the market as well as attractive discount offers. Among some of the products on offer in the festival are fashion and textiles, household items, electronic appliances, gadgets, automotive, handicrafts, health products, and a whole lot more.

Originally called Pasar Gambir, held on Merdeka Square, - in colonial days called Koningsplein,  - the Fair has been moved to its present location at the Jakarta International Expo in Kemayoran.  Not just a prime exhibition of all kinds of Indonesian-made products, Jakarta Fair has consistently retained its original concept of a  Night Market Fair that offers recreation, shopping and fun for the whole family.
