Ondel-Ondel Carnival 

 

 

 Carnivals shows during Jakarta anniversary, family celebrations held when, for example, a boy in the family was circumcised. "The ceremony is called  the circumcision of the groom, which elevates the event's importance to parallel that of weddings, for more modern events like dangdutan (hiring a dangdut band) and movie screenings to celebrate important ceremonies. If we don't pay enough attention to Betawi culture, which is part of our culture, the ondel-ondel tradition may vanish forever.
