Cap Go Meh Singkawang

Cap Go Meh Festival Singkawang is the grand finale of the Chinese New Year celebrations, filled with vibrant festivities and deep cultural significance. Celebrated on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, this festival coincides with the full moon, turning Singkawang City into a magical sight, adorned with thousands of lanterns lighting up the streets.

At the heart of the celebration, hundreds of tatung—humans believed to channel the spirits of gods—parade through the city. These tatung, believed to have the power to drive away evil spirits, perform extreme acts, some walking, others carried on litters. Singkawang’s Cap Go Meh Festival stands as the largest celebration of its kind in Indonesia, offering a unique blend of spirituality, culture, and entertainment.

Don’t miss the chance to experience the magical energy of the Cap Go Meh Festival Singkawang, where you can witness spectacular performances, immerse yourself in a world of color, and be part of a celebration that unites people from all over the world!
