Enjoy Festival Durian Pekalongan

This Saturday, I can't go home to the Pekalongan because a problem should I finished. My STNK of Honda Astrea was lost last Thursday, when I went to the UKP4 office at Jalan Veteran III Jakarta Pusat. Tomorrow, Sunday 10th February 2013 is one important day for Pekalongan Residents, especially Residents of Lolong Village. There will be held an anually event to celebrate harvest month of Durian Fruite.

Yes, Lolong is a village in Pekalongan District exactly at Karanganyar Subdistrict. It's about 20 kilometres from Pantura Pekalongan highways to south. This village still has pure air, fresh water, and much trees along the way. It's not long from my house, may be about 10-15 minutes if we use motorcycle. Almost Lolong residents are farmer, especially they have many Durian orchads. Average of the Durian orchads are about 5-10 hectares every partriarch. Usually at November to Maret they are very happy because the harvest month of Durian comes.

Durian of Lolong is very delicious. It is famous for Pekalongan residents and surrounding. People from other region come to enjoy this fruit. If you enjoy Durian Lolong, you will not disappoint with it's taste. To promote this fruite from Lolong, Pekalongan Goverment district hold an anually event since 2010. It is Festival Durian Lolong. This event consists of praying, enjoying dangdut music, and eating Durian together. Just pay about Rp.30.000,00 you can eat all durian as you want. At 2010, I went with eleven  friends. We went by motorcycle and enjoyed durian together untill evening. I estimated that thre were aproximatly 600 hundred people visited this event. It was very exciting.

The event was succesfull, so Goverment dicided to hold this event anually untill this year. Different with bfore, this year the event will be held not just one day, but one week form 3yh to 10th February 2013. Wonderfull!!! Mr. Amat Antono will open this event directly. Everyday you will be diserved more than one items event, Bazaar, performing arts, music contests, and manya kinds of competitions will be held on this Festival. Now you must pay about Rp.60.0000,00 for enjoying.

It just the information can I give. As Pekalongan residents it's pity that I can't contibute at this event like three years ago. As durian lovers I'm very disappointed can't to go there. For you who are near from Pekalongan, don't let this event. Ebjoy and make it fun for you and your family or friends. Look the bellow pictures.. I'm sure you are very interesting... :P
