JAKARTA: The Central Jakarta municipal administration is to
open the Jl. Jaksa Street Art Festival next week in commemoration
of the capital's 477th anniversary that fell on June 22.

The festival will feature various traditional dances of the
Betawi, or native Jakartan, culture.

A colossal painting contest on a 200-meter length of cloth
will highlight the event, said administration spokesman Yamin
