The Rejang Lebong Kuda Kepang Cultural Arts Association will host the Gerebeg Suro festival in Bengkulu on July 7 to celebrate the Islamic New Year. The event, which has been held annually since 2022, features a large-scale performance of kuda kepang, a traditional Javanese dance where performers ride flat, woven bamboo horses. PKKKRL chairman Hidayatullah and Rejang Lebong Police Chief AKBP Florentus Situngkir have expressed their support for the event, which aims to foster appreciation for local culture among younger generations and serve as a platform for cultural education. The festival will involve dozens of kuda kepang groups from both the region and beyond, with security forces on site to ensure a safe and orderly celebration.
