Hobby Mart 2026 to Unify Hobby Communities and Entrepreneurs in Jakarta
Hobby Mart 2026 is scheduled to be held on Sunday, 7 June 2026, at the Bali Coffee Club in South Jakarta. Carrying the theme “Where Hobbies Meet Community,” the event serves as a platform to bring together hobbyists, collectors, communities, and hobby-based entrepreneurs in an open and collaborative interactive space.
The organisers stated that Hobby Mart is designed not merely as a marketplace for hobby products, but also as a space to share experiences and knowledge, as well as to expand networks between communities. Various hobby categories will be present, ranging from automotive, cycling, diecast, model kits, action figures, photography, and music, to vintage goods, memorabilia, and various other collectible products.
Hari Bravo, the initiator of Hobby Mart from GARIS Enterprise, stated that the activity was born from the community’s need for a gathering space capable of connecting various elements within the hobby ecosystem. “We are presenting Hobby Mart as a meeting space for communities and hobby-based entrepreneurs. We want to create an event that is not only a place for transactions but also a place to share experiences, knowledge, and passion among fellow hobbyists,” Hari said during a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday, 3 June 2026.
In addition to the market area, visitors can participate in various community activities such as collection exhibitions, gatherings, experience-sharing sessions, networking, and opportunities to meet directly with entrepreneurs and communities from various hobby sectors. For its inaugural event, Hobby Mart targets the participation of 30 tenants from various hobby and collection fields. The event is also expected to be attended by more than 20 communities from Jakarta and its surrounding areas.
Budi Arwiyanto, the founder of Retroforia, noted that they are targeting at least 500 visitors, including hobbyists, collectors, communities, and the general public, with more than 10 hobby categories involved. According to Budi, the presence of various communities and businesses in one location is expected to create a wider space for interaction and strengthen the hobby ecosystem that has been developing organically across various regions.
Adrian Kariem, Manager of Bali Coffee Club, assessed that Hobby Mart has the potential to become a collaborative space between communities and creative economy actors. “Hobby Mart is not just a community marketplace, but also a meeting space for creative economy actors, collectors, communities, and hobby enthusiasts in one inclusive and sustainable celebration of hobby culture,” he said.
Alongside the exhibition and bazaar areas, the organisers have prepared several supporting activities, including a convoy to commemorate International VW Bus Day, photo hunting sessions, and inter-community pickleball tournaments. The event will commence at 08:00 WIB at the Bali Coffee Club, located on Jalan Lebak Bulus I No. 2, Cilandak, South Jakarta. The event is open to the public and is expected to become a regular agenda in the coming years.
Hobby Mart 2026 is organised by GARIS Enterprise in collaboration with Retroforia, with support from Bali Coffee Club as the venue partner. Through this collaboration, the organisers hope that Hobby Mart can become a central hub for community activities capable of driving the growth of the hobby-based creative economy while strengthening relationships between communities in Indonesia.
