Annual Indonesian Festival Houston
The 2018 Annual Indonesian Festival Houston was a promotional event which
took on a “market” concept, inspired by the open air “Pasar” or markets typical of
many in Indonesia where everyone gathers for social events, community interests,
food stalls, and trade.
The theme of the 2018 Annual Indonesian Festival Houston was “Remarkable
Indonesia.” The event showcased Indonesian products such as; food, home goods,
apparel and accessories. A batik fashion show was one of the highlights of the
event which featured tourism and the cultural diversity of Indonesia. Indonesia has
become a significant part of the rich international profile of Houston.
Day 1 took place at Jones Plaza with food booths, clothing, accessories, music and
dance. Day 2 took place at the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia.
Houston has become a principal trade partner of Indonesia, and Indonesians are
key players in Houston’s economy and cultural diversity.
