Uleg Rujak Festival Surabaya 2019

Rujak Uleg Festival Surabaya 2019 - After being delayed a year due to bombings in a number of churches and Mapolrestabes, the Surabaya City Government (Pemkot) is now holding the Uleg 2019 Rujak Festival on Sunday March 17. This annual activity is to welcome the 726th Surabaya City Anniversary (HJKS).

Head of Surabaya Tourism Culture Agency (Disbudpar) Antiek Sugiharti said, this year he gave a different concept than in previous years. In addition to the number of participants who participated more, there were around 1,600 participants who were required to use unique costumes, also using a 2.5 meter mortar.

"So the trial is on the stage which is placed in the middle along Jalan Kembang Jepun. So that people can see clearly because of their higher position. And this will later be recorded in the Indonesian World Record Museum (MURI) as the biggest mortar and most participants, "he told Radar Surabaya on Friday (11/1).

Antiek said, the activities which are usually held in May were brought forward in March. This is because in April there are election activities and fasting in May. "So we deliberately reduce activities during the fasting month," he said.

Of the number of participants divided into several groups, each of which has 6 members, if detailed there are 154 groups from the kelurahan, 35 groups of Regional Devices Organization (OPD), 27 general public groups, 24 groups of honorary guests, and 28 groups from hotels and restaurants . "We indeed invite people to participate from year to year so there will be more participants," he said.

In addition, the festival was also enlivened by various entertainments by local artists from Surabaya. Such as the Rujak Uleg dance from the Gito Maron studio. And several bands that will display Surabaya songs.
