Join us for a vibrant celebration of tradition and creativity in the picturesque Rurukan Village, where culture comes alive amidst breathtaking landscapes. The Rurukan Village Art & Culture Festival is a cherished annual event marking the 177th anniversary of Rurukan Village. Nestled in Tomohon, North Sulawesi, this festival honors the rich traditions of the Minahasa ethnic group through dynamic competitions and showcases, fostering a deep connection to our cultural roots.

Since its inception, the festival has grown into a vibrant tapestry of performances and exhibitions. It features the Maengket traditional opera-ballet, Mahzani singing, creative dances, and Makaaruyen music competitions, alongside folklore storytelling and a culinary festival. Located in an agricultural center with stunning views of Lake Tondano, Bitung Harbor and Mount Kalabat, and the nearby Mahawu Volcano, this event is a testament to the enduring spirit and creativity of our community and well worth a visit.
