Drone Show Illuminates Jakarta’s Bundaran HI to Mark Indonesia’s 81st Independence Day

KUALA LUMPUR/JAKARTA (Aug 17) — A drone light show depicting Indonesia’s journey toward independence and its cultural diversity lit up the skies over Bundaran HI in Jakarta on Monday night, marking the country’s 81st Independence Day celebrations.

The spectacle, which began at 10:35 p.m. local time, opened with a message reading “Pray For NTT”, reflecting solidarity with communities in East Nusa Tenggara, North Sumatra, and other regions affected by recent disasters. The performance then showcased key historical milestones, including the Proclamation of Independence by Sukarno and Hatta, followed by visuals celebrating Indonesia’s 81-year journey toward sovereignty, justice, and prosperity.

The event, part of the Malam Merdeka celebrations, also featured a parade of decorated vehicles from government ministries and agencies, highlighting national achievements in culture, creativity, and public programs. Attendees praised the drone display for its educational value, with one spectator noting it effectively conveyed Indonesia’s independence narrative to younger audiences.

Details not yet available on the total number of drones used or the cost of the event. The celebrations in Jakarta coincided with nationwide festivities, including a reported 46,700 visitors at Ancol Dreamland on Aug 17.

Looking ahead, the drone show underscores Indonesia’s ongoing efforts to blend tradition with modernity in national commemorations. The event aligns with broader themes of unity and progress ahead of Indonesia’s goal of becoming a developed nation by 2045.
