Festivities filled Waterfront City Pangururan, Samosir Regency, as thousands of residents and tourists crowded the area to celebrate the 22nd Anniversary of Samosir Regency on Thursday (26/02). The celebration, which took place from late afternoon into the evening, served as both a moment of reflection and a long-awaited public festival for local residents.
The Samosir Regency Government specifically organized the event as popular entertainment to strengthen community ties while promoting the region's potential. Segment 5 of Waterfront City, serving as the center of activities, was filled with enthusiastic visitors enjoying the series of events presented on the shores of Lake Toba.
In addition to providing an entertainment stage, the celebration delivered a significant economic impact for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Samosir region. Culinary and local product stalls were flooded with visitors eager to taste traditional dishes and buy souvenirs, making it an effective promotional platform for local creative economy actors.
The success of the 22nd anniversary celebration underscores Samosir's position as a premier tourist destination capable of integrating socio-cultural activities with community economic empowerment. The Samosir Regency Government hopes this momentum will continue to foster the spirit of mutual cooperation and regional progress moving forward.
