Lhokseumawe Night Market

1 IBL09060 copy.jpg

The sole stopover bus station in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh, is meant for land transit connecting Indonesian regions. The local government recently transformed the area into a game arena and night market with the theme "Lhokseumawe Culinary Fiesta."

The festival is deceptively simple, and the people who attend don't mind its aesthetics. In general, this festival is not characterized by a "Culinary Fiesta" aimed at creative economy culinary entrepreneurs. What stuck out the most, though, were the different game facilities owned by the businesspeople who took part in enlivening these activities. People here, as far as I can tell, are more enthusiastic about entertainment than culinary party thematic activities.

Night Market

Lhokseumawe is a small town in Aceh that still survives its traditional activities, such as the night market, which may be an ancient tradition in some parts of Asia.

Night markets resemble festivals, carnivals, or fairs, as well as children's play areas, where all transactions are carried out at night. Various goods and services are exchanged here. Even if the value of an item has been displayed, haggling over the item's price is a common practice in this type of market. For additional information about the night market, visit id.wikipedia.org Pasar Malam (Indonesia).

On the opening night of Tuesday, December 6, 2022, I went there with my two colleagues, @AnzirPasai and @IchsanNanda. The event zone is free to attend, but all games are charged. Carousel is the most popular game, you must pay Rp.10,000, or the equivalent of $0.64, to enjoy it for approximately 10 minutes.

One of the most popular games among little kids is the carousel on a flat platform. The cute and happy character has captured the attention of kids, something that will make them happy and exultant.

The night market held in Lhokseumawe City this time was really lively. I also saw the night market when I went to Lhokseumawe this afternoon.

On the other hand, a festivity financed by state funds may be far from attractive, that's a personal assessment.

The Lhokseumawe Night Market has a lot of place to play and I bet a lot of kids would be over the moon if they could play whatever they want.

Of course, what is certain is that parents might become overwhelmed if their children refuse to go home because they are not tired of playing. based on my personal experience with my little girl 😄
