The Country Woods Jakarta is an excellent choice as it features the premium long stay accommodation Jakarta boasts of to all visitors, and the property’s stylish interiors and stellar modern amenities make this the perfect home-away-from-home for all visitors. The Jakarta Fair 2013 promises to be just as faithful to its predecessors as it always is. The fair was first started in 1967 by the city’s governor at the time, who wanted to combine the capital’s night markets into one market, as well as drawing inspiration from a similar festival from Indonesia’s Dutch past, the Pasar Gambir. Over time, the fair grew to become part of the city’s anniversary celebrations and it has incorporated elements from its Dutch predecessor into the celebrations. The fair features various cultural shows, trade exhibitions, music performances featuring artists from around the country, amusement rides for all ages, as well as delicious food to tingle the taste buds and it draws visitors from around the world. The fair usually stretches on for a month of cultural celebration, but this year’s fair will last for almost two months, from 20 May to 15 July. It is one of Indonesia’s cultural extravaganzas, so do not miss exciting event during the summer months!
