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.

Every step taken and every helping hand extended becomes a tangible expression of care. Through the 2025 Artha Graha Peduli Low-Cost Market, low-cost basic necessities are distributed directly to the community, welcomed with sincere smiles, warm greetings, and gratitude that strengthens the spirit.

Togetherness and compassion become a source of hope for many families. Because when we are present with heart, care has the power to bring true meaning and genuine hope.
