Bogor is set to host the Helaran cultural parade on Aug. 12, tempo.co reports. 

The parade, which will promote local art, culture and tourism, is part of the Helaran Art and Culture event to celebrate the city's 536th anniversary.

The event was originally scheduled for June but was moved due to several nationwide events taking place.

“We changed the date because we also want to promote Bogor’s tourism agenda to guests of the Asian Games,” said Shahlan, the head of Bogor’s Tourism and Culture Agency.

A range of artistic performances from various art studios and carnival participants will take place at this year’s parade. The event is set to attract 5,000 attendees consisting of art studio enthusiasts, schools, universities, communities and members of Bogor’s city government.

It will take place on Jl. Sudirman from 6 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (anm/wng)
