Nongkrong returns to the Square this Valentine’s Day, inviting Melbournians to fall in love with Indonesian food, music, dance and community.Fed Square will transform into a pasar senja (twilight fair), where live Indonesian music, dance, food and handmade goods come together as the sun sets over the city. The free, family-friendly event reimagines the Indonesian tradition of gathering at dusk to eat, unwind and most importantly, nongkrong (hang out) with community.
What to expect:
A vibrant, eclectic line up of seven live music acts and three dance performances. Headliners include Ali (IDN), Candra Darusman (IDN), Komang, and Suara Dance (SYD).
Food stalls and gerobaks (food carts) serving Indonesian and Australian-Indonesian deliciousness from five food vendors.
Senja Design Market, an Indonesian design market with handmade goods and exclusive merch.
A hands-on, pop-in weaving workshop with artist Patriot Mukmin.
All are welcome to come nongkrong and explore a lively showcase of contemporary Australian-Indonesian culture.
