Semasa Piknik returned to Lapangan Banteng in late June

The Semasa Piknik community and creative market event returned to Lapangan Banteng in Central Jakarta Administrative City, Jakarta Special Capital Region (DKI) in June 27-29, 2025. It is included in the Tourism Ministry's Karisma Event Nusantara 2025 calendar of cultural festivals.

The event is organized annually by Semasa to support the creative economy and local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), as well as invite residents to enjoy outdoor activities in the city amid a variety of local creative offerings.

Semasa Piknik 2025 presents more than 250 booths showcasing creative and culinary products. Of that number, 150 are from Jakarta's local creative sector that range from fashion, handicrafts, to household products. The rest are culinary booths that serve special menus from various regions across Indonesia.

This event is a special attraction for Jakarta residents who want to enjoy the weekend while supporting local products. The atmosphere of Lapangan Banteng will also be transformed into a comfortable public space for families, young people, and tourists.

Visitors could also enjoy various supporting programs such as acoustic music performances, creative workshops, and children's play areas. The accompanying entertainment added to the excitement of the event, and aims to strengthen the spirit of togetherness in the city.

Upholding an environmentally friendly and inclusive event concept, Semasa Piknik 2025 collaborates with recycling communities and urban farming activists. The collaboration is expected to foster collective awareness on the importance of green space and a sustainable lifestyle.

The event took place from 10.00-20.30 Western Indonesia Time (WIB) for three days, and it was open to the public free of charge. The organizers urged visitors to bring reusable water bottles and shopping bags to support the zero-waste movement.
