The story

Tanjung Waka Festival in Sula Islands

Tanjung Waka Festival began as a grassroots village celebration around 2016 in Fatkauyon Village, Sula Islands, North Maluku, formalized into a public event around 2021 to 2022. Held in mid-December, it received a MURI national record and a top-ten Kharisma Event Nusantara ranking for 2024, built around an edu-ecotourism and green-event concept emphasizing local community participation over commercial tourism spectacle.

Fatkauyon Village, in the East Sulabesi District of the Sula Islands Regency in North Maluku, began an informal grassroots community celebration at Tanjung Waka Beach around 2016, which local government later formalized into a structured public event, with the first clearly documented officially promoted edition appearing around 2021 to 2022.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's edu-ecotourism and green-event framing, emphasizing genuine local community participation and environmental education over commercial tourism spectacle, distinguishes it from many of Indonesia's more consumer-facing regional festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Its rapid rise from a grassroots village hajatan around 2016 to national Kharisma Event Nusantara recognition by 2024 is an unusually fast trajectory for a festival still less than a decade removed from its community origins

03

The city starts moving

Receiving a MURI, Indonesia's national record-keeping body, recognition at a recent opening further underlines its growing official profile despite genuinely local roots
