Palembang: Sriwijaya XXVIII Festival – the latest iteration of South Sumatra’s premier cultural event held from June 16 to 22 around the iconic Ampera Bridge in Palembang – pulled out all the stops to woo the public with a host of colourful festivities showcasing local heritage, as well as the history of the titular ancient kingdom.
The festival’s lavish performances, which included a traditional dance extravaganza and a fashion carnival featuring the works of local fashion designer Eva Oktaviani, have struck a chord with local residents over the years.
