Join us at the Rujak Uleg Festival, Surabaya's biggest culinary event, happening annually since 2004! This vibrant festival celebrates Surabaya’s iconic Rujak Cingur, featuring over 1,000 participants in unique costumes, and 120 fashion showcases. The highlight? VIP guests creating rujak on a giant 2.5-meter stone mortar, followed by an exciting crowd of participants and traditional music.
Taste the creativity as the rujak masterpieces are judged, with the top 60 winners taking home prizes. After the judging, enjoy free rujak tastings, a true celebration of Surabaya’s flavors. But that’s not all – the festival also features dozens of UMKM booths and mesmerizing cultural performances, showcasing Surabaya’s rich cultural blend.
What makes this festival even more special? It attracts a diverse crowd, with participants from Surabaya’s local communities, ethnic groups, and even expatriates, including Indian and German communities, foreign students, and consular members.
With Rujak Cingur recognized as an intangible cultural heritage, this event shines a spotlight on its cultural, historical, and economic importance. In 2025, Festival Semesta Rujak Uleg, celebrates the rich traditions of Surabaya’s signature dish, looking back at its past and forward to its future. Don’t miss out on the Rujak Uleg Universe Festival!
