The Mountain Kromong Festival
was conceived by researchers as an annual activity
aimed at communicating art in realizing cultural
engineering in a society that was contaminated with
industrial culture. This festival is held right in the
Gempol District of Cirebon , West Java, Indonesia to
reassemble the cultural traditions of the
mountain/huma community, which so far have covered
the lives of industrial communities. Maintaining this
form of festival is tantamount to maintaining value, so
the value of the Mountain Kromong festival is always
directed at the value of environmental glorification,
both natural, social, economic, and cultural arts.
The method used by researchers through
participatory research stages, focus group
discussions, revitalizing cultural arts, packaging
festivals, and festival performances. The results of a
series of research work on the Cirebon mountain
kromong festival became a model of a mountain festival
different from other mountain-themed festivals. The
cultural closeness of all Mount Kromong festival
materials is sourced from the local community,
both artistic and aesthetic related matters.
The entire series of festivals that have been running for
two years, resulting in a cultural movement that is
contained in Mountain Kromon performing art.
Mountain Festival kromong increasingly in
development right in the economic empowerment
through the development of arts and culture-based
tourism.
