Put together with the help of the Fremantle Chamber of Commerce, the festival will see almost 50 Indonesian dancers entertain the crowd, a 10-piece band, a fashion show and a number of Indonesian food and craft stalls.

A spokesperson from the Indonesian Consulate said it was a good opportunity for them to showcase their rich culture to the people of WA.

Chamber of Commerce chief executive Tim Milsom said WA people had a strong relationship with Indonesia and the festival was a way to strengthen that.

‘People will experience a cultural exchange of nations and they can enjoy the colourful vibrancy that the Indonesian people bring to music and dance,’ he said.
