Humboldt Bay Festival in Jayapura
Festival Teluk Humboldt, organized by Jayapura's city government, centers on Enggros Maritime Village on Youtefa Bay in early August, showcasing traditional arts and dance of the indigenous Tabi and Enggros tribes. One documented edition featured an eight-meter ceremonial rice cone built from nearly two thousand cakes tied symbolically to Indonesia's 1945 independence, though this specific feature may not repeat at every edition.
