Jember Fashion Carnaval


Every year, there is a big event in my city, the name is Jember Fashion Carnaval. Jember Fashion Carnaval or often called JFC is a fashion carnival event held every year in my city, Jember-East Java, Indonesia. A total of 400 carnival's participants wear fashion, run way and dance, in the main street of Jember was witnessed by hundreds thousands of spectators on either side of the road. They are divided into 8 processions, each procession reflect fashion trends during the year. The first procession is Archipelago which takes the theme of the national dress of a particular area on a regular basis such as Java, Bali, Sumatra, and so on. More file past the theme of fashion is a trend that is of a country, a particular group, movie, event or other global events. All clothing are made in the form of costumes are all in competition to win prizes. Arena that is used to show JFC is the main road of Jember along the 3.6 kilometers. This event is held every year in order to welcome the Independence Day.
In addition to being a means to showcase the nation's cultural and natural wealth of Indonesia, the parade is also able to enrich the creativity of the nation to remember there are some participants who use and recycling of scrap materials from the surrounding environment. The uniqueness of this event also attracted international attention because it appears among the local participants are foreign participants who also attended the annual parade in Jember.
