The New Year’s Eve celebrations at SCBD Lot 1 in South Jakarta remained lively despite a light drizzle on Wednesday night (December 31).

Carrying the theme “Embrace Diversity, Nurture Hope,” the entertainment stage was filled with crowds who came to enjoy a series of events leading up to the New Year’s countdown. In the absence of fireworks, this year’s celebration was kept simple as a gesture of sympathy for the disaster in Sumatra.

The audience enthusiastically watched performances by several bands starting at 7:00 PM, including NM Band, Stereowall, Robokop, Shakira Jasmine, and Moluccan Soul. In addition to the musical performances, the event also featured interfaith prayers and a fundraising activity.
