UNDIP International Students Celebrate Cultural Harmony at Grebeg Sudiro Surakarta 2026


Surakarta, 15 February 2026 – International students of Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) took part in the International Parade at the Grebeg Sudiro Cultural Carnival on February 15, 2026, in Surakarta (Solo). Their participation highlighted intercultural exchange within one of Central Java’s most prominent cultural festivals.


Held annually in the historic Pasar Gede and Sudiroprajan areas, Grebeg Sudiro is widely recognized as a celebration of harmony between Javanese and Chinese traditions ahead of the Lunar New Year. The festival features traditional performances, lion dances, artistic processions, and the iconic gunungan kue keranjang, symbolizing prosperity and gratitude.

During the parade, UNDIP’s international students marched alongside local cultural groups while wearing traditional attire from their respective countries. Their presence added a vibrant global dimension to the celebration and was warmly welcomed by thousands of visitors lining the parade route.

Beyond the festivities, the event provided meaningful experiential learning. By engaging directly with local communities, students experienced Indonesia’s values of inclusivity, tolerance, and cultural coexistence. Their involvement reflects UNDIP’s commitment to internationalization through cultural immersion and community engagement.
