Independence Day

Location: Jakarta
Starts: Tuesday 17 August
Ends: Tuesday 17 August

Independence Day in Indonesia marks the liberation of the Japanese during World War 2 and the subsequent independence from Dutch Colonialism. The event is often prepared days in advance with building decorated with colourful light displays and large banners. Shops are renowned for special giveaway discounts and the city is given a thorough clean up. A military parade marches through the streets and visitors can engage in bike decorating and shrimp eating contests.
