undreds of people were seen roaming around Cincin Lake (Ring Lake) under the blazing hot Sun in Papanggo subdistrict in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, on Saturday. Cincin Lake Festival, a two-day event held at the end of the dry season over the weekend, is what brought the crowd.

A stage stood facing the road leading to the lake, giving audience members a view of the lake as they watched pencak silat performances.

To the left and right of the stage were amusement park rides, including a merry-go-round and trampoline for children.

Across the stage, a food bazaar offered a variety of products, from traditional Betawi dishes dodol Betawi (sticky candy) and nasi uduk (coconut rice dish) to bir pletok (herbs and spices beverage). Some stalls sold traditional Betawi attire, such as peci (cap) and pangsi (pants).

“We have reached the peak of the event,” the festival’s organizing committee head, Mahrul, said in his speech.

He said the amusement park and the bazaar had been operating there since Oct. 25 as part of the lead-up to the festival. The attractions drew in 2,000 to 3,000 visitors every day, increasing to up to 5,000 on the weekends.

“The festival is aimed at introducing more people to the lake, which has so much potential as a tourist destination in Jakarta. Despite the lack of facilities, the lake has beautiful views,” Mahrul said.
