————————————————————————-

For the 5th year in a row, the New England Indonesian Festival (IndoFest) will once again rock Boston this September.

The 2017 IndoFest aims at promoting Indonesian arts, culture and culinary to the New England communities. Launched in 2013 by Permias MA, IndoFest has attracted around 10,000 attendees annually, making it the biggest Indonesian festival ever held in New England. This year, for the third time, ICONE is joining forces with PERMIAS Massachusetts to bring back this long awaited Indonesian event on September 30, 2017 at Copley Square, Boston, 12noon – 6pm.

The central theme of this year’s IndoFest is Indonesian Wildlife. With the increasingly urgent eco movement, we would like to raise awareness about the unique flora and fauna of our country. From the Rafflesia flower to the Komodo dragon and the Orangutan, Indonesia boasts a number of highly diverse ecosystem spread out over 17,508 islands, some of which are endangered. The festival will also touch upon the relationship that Indonesians have with natural environments since wildlife is an important part of the culture among various ethnic groups in Indonesia.

Supported by dozens of vendors and performers coming from all over New England and beyond, our team is working hard to bring you an IndoFest experience you’ll remember with fantastic and tastiest choice of Indonesian food, dancing, music and more. We are extremely excited to see both familiar and new faces this year, so please save the date, come say hi and enjoy the day!
