Lalu dari sumber lainnya menyatakan BANDUNG, Kamis, 09/08/2012 - 07:44 (PRLM).- Tidak hanya warga Braga, masyarakat luar negeri juga akan terlibat dalam Braga Festival yang digelar Forum Estetika Kota (Festa) bekerja sama dengan pemerintah Kota Bandung. Hingga saat ini, delapat Rukun Warga (RW) Braga, beberapa provinsi di Inonesia dan enam kota dari luar negeri pun sudah memastikan ikut dalam festival yang dilakukan pada 28-30 September 2012 di Kawasan Jalan Braga dan Jalan Cikapundung Timur.

"Setiap RW dari delapan RW di Braga akan diberikan satu stan untuk menunjukkan hasil olahan warganya. Mereka pun senang dan menyambut positif tawaran kami. Sedangkan enam kota dari negara lain yang terdiri dari Jepang, Jerman, Korea, Malaysia, dan dua kota dari Cina juga akan memamerkan karya dan menyumbang pertunjukan tradisi negaranya,” kata Direktur Pengembang Bisnis Braga Festival Tita Puspitasari saat dihubungi “PRLM” di Bandung, Rabu (8/8) malam.

Tita juga mengatakan sebanyak 80 persen dari ratusan stan yang ditawarkan sudah terisi karena animo masyarakat sangat tinggi menyambut festival yang sekaligus memperingati Hari Ulang Tahun Kota Bandung. Bahkan 40 persen peserta yang mendaftar adalah peserta Braga Festival tahun lalu yang menurut Tita, sudah merasakan keuntungan mengikuti festival yang sama.

Walau begitu, Tita mengatakan panitia masih terbuka dengan warga masyarakat yang ingin berpartisipasi. “Kami berencana akan menambah stan khususnya distro, kuliner atau karya lain yang dapat menunjukkan etalase Bandung sebagai kota kreatif,” kata Tita.

Melihat tanggapan positif dari berbagai kalangan dan wilayah dunia, Tita berharap Braga Festival pada waktu mendatang bisa diakui resmi oleh Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif Indonesia sebagai agenda nasional. (Sumber: http://www.pikiran-rakyat.com )
