Forty-five local, sustainable brands will be present, bringing a variety of products ranging from fashion, accessories, handicrafts, home decor, personal care products, children's necessities, to culinary delights worth exploring.
Besides shopping, visitors can also enjoy a variety of entertainment, such as performances by the Nawasena Dance Studio and the Young Cultural Ambassador, Rania Artanti Helga Putri, performances from the Jogja Music School, stand-up comedy, a talk show featuring Keju with Rumah Keju Jogja and VoKS Radio Jogja, a Flair Bartending Show, performances by Hyatt Mencari Bakat participants, and a showcase from the Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta F&B team.
Meaningful and culturally intense activities
