Up to 32 decorated vehicles enlivened Tomohon International Flower Festival held in Tomohon, North Sulawesi, on Aug. 8. According to a statement, people from across Indonesia as well as Nepal, Ukraine, Australia, South Korea, and the United States took part in the annual event.
In addition to putting a spotlight on flowers, the festival also launched the Lily Iriana flower that was inspired by First Lady Iriana Jokowi, and broke an Indonesian World Records Museum (MURI) record through the Ma’zani dance for the largest number of dancers as it was performed by 1,530 people.
