fter being canceled in the previous two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Jakarta Fair has returned to Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, as part of the capital's 495th anniversary.
The event, which is among the largest and longest-running annual exhibitions in Southeast Asia, is slated to run for 39 days, from June 9 to July 17.
Some 1,500 booths from about 2,500 companies are participating in the Jakarta Fair this year, offering huge discounts for various goods, such as automotive products, household appliances, electronic devices, furniture, handicrafts and cosmetics.
Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria told The Jakarta Post he hoped the event could help small and medium enterprises (SME) promote and introduce their products to the public.
"In the future, I hope the Jakarta fair will attract not only domestic visitors but also international tourists. I also hope that business owners from the neighboring countries will be able to participate in the exhibition so that we can exchange products, information and culture," Riza said on Thursday.
Aside from product exhibitions, the 53rd Jakarta Fair also offers a plethora of activities, including food festivals, music performances and carnival rides. Visitors can also donate their blood and get free COVID-19 booster shots at the exhibition.
The Jakarta Fair is open daily from 3.30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.
