West Java Deputy Governor Applauds Collaboration for 2026 Nusantara People's Festival

West Java Deputy Governor Erwan Setiawan has expressed appreciation for the collaboration between Kodam III/Siliwangi, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), and TVRI West Java in organising the 2026 Nusantara People’s Festival, which involved dozens of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). He stated that MSME involvement must continue to be part of various activities in West Java, not only at ceremonial events. "I thank Kodam III/Siliwangi and Kadin West Java for collaborating to organise the Nusantara People’s Festival, which involved 42 MSMEs in West Java," Erwan said after attending the closing of the 2026 Nusantara People’s Festival at Serka Dedy Unadi Field, Kodam III/Siliwangi, Bandung City, on Sunday, 19 July 2026. The Deputy Governor expressed hope that similar synergy could be continued in various activities across West Java. The 2026 Nusantara People’s Festival took place over 10 days, from 10 to 19 July 2026. The event aimed to encourage the growth of local business actors while providing a communal space for the public through a mix of entertainment, sports, culinary experiences, and the creative economy. Commander of Kodam III/Siliwangi, Major General TNI Kosasih, expressed hope that the Nusantara People’s Festival would continue to grow by involving more MSME players in the coming years. He also conveyed his appreciation to Kadin West Java, the organising committee, and all sponsors who supported the implementation of the festival. With the conclusion of the 2026 Nusantara People’s Festival series, the Pangdam III/Siliwangi officially closed the event, which over ten days presented various activities for the public, ranging from an MSME bazaar, entertainment, and sports, to educational activities as a platform to strengthen togetherness while driving local economic growth.
