Ambon Bay Festival, Maluku
By Cahaya Asia -
A variety of traditional customs and traditions of the Maluku people are going to be displayed during the Ambon Bay Festival. These include traditional fishing competitions and Arumbae Manggurube or traditional boat races. Arumbae were once used as war vessels.
There will also be the Semang Boat races which involve the traditional Maluku outrigger or known as Semang with women in traditional costumes manning the boats and race against each other. One of the most anticipated highlights of the event is a relay swim race starting from Ambon Bay (Martafons point) and finishing at the southern part of Ambon (Galala).
