Surabaya Vaganza Festival of Lights

Surabaya Vaganza is a spectacular annual parade that has been held since 2004, showcasing flower-decorated floats, cultural parades, and themed costumes from various communities across Surabaya. With a route stretching from Tugu Pahlawan to Balai Pemuda Surabaya, the event offers a vibrant and highly Instagrammable visual experience.

In 2026, Surabaya Vaganza will return with a modern concept featuring dazzling light shows, lantern displays, fantasy costume parades, culinary festivals, local SME (UMKM) showcases, and live music performances. Involving government institutions, private sectors, communities, and artists, the festival has become a major cultural celebration that strengthens the city’s identity while attracting both local and international visitors.
