  Evaluasi & kesimpulan:
  • Koordinasi dengan Disporapar Kab. Singkawang baik dan lancar
  • Pelaksanaan Acara (Kesesuaian Konsep, Konsistensi Pelaksanaan, Operasional dan Mitigasi)
    1. Terdapat penjagaan dari Kepolisian & TNI selama penyelenggaraan.
    2. Belum ada solusi masalah pengaturan lalu lintas selama penyelenggaraan event, Sehingga akses menuju kokasi acara puncak mengalami kemacetan.
    3. Masih perlu pengaturan event management dan crowd control sehingga pelaksanaan event dapat berjalan lebih lancar.
    4. Promosi masih berpusat di wilayah Singkawang, OOH hanya di wilayah Kota Singkawang, belum terlihat materi promosi di wilayah kota/kabupaten sekitar, mungkin mempertimbangkan acara yang dilaksanakan di tahun ini dibuat lebih sederhana. Tidak ada signage di sekitar lokasi event.
  • Inovasi dan Kreatifitas (Dekorasi, Konten, Venue, Bedanya dengan acara sebelumnya)
    1. Konsep event dan konten kurang lebih sama tiap tahun. Kurang adanya adanya inovasi dan kreativitas.
    2. Dekorasi menggunakan pemandangan vihara sebagai latar belakang acara seremonial, praktis mengangkat konten dan kelokalan. Hias kota juga sangat baik dan mendukung suasana festive.
    3. Seremonial efektif dan efisien, padat kontennya, dan tidak bertele-tele. Durasi dan slot untuk sambutan sudah cukup/tidak terlalu panjang/banyak sehingga pengunjung bisa fokus menikmati pertunjukan.
    4. Penampilan hiburan mengangkat nilai kebangsaan sekaligus kedaerahan.
    5. Acara masih belum dilaksanakan tepat waktu, Terlambat lebih dari 1,5 jam dari rencana, karena menunggu kehadiran Pejabat yang terjebak kemacetan ke lokasi.
  • Amenitas dan Aksesibilitas Partisipasi UMKM
    1. Amenitas tersedia cukup, namun setiap Imlek/Cap Go Meh tarifnya naik drastis berkali lipat.
    2. Aksesibilitas jarak sekitar 150 km dari Pontianak/bandara Supadio, membutuhkan waktu kurang lebih 4 jam menggunakan transportasi darat. Bandara Singkawang sudah hampir siap digunakan di tahun 2024 ini.
    3. Ekraf banyak di bagian dekorasi di segala penjuru Kota Singkawang, serta kostum dan aksesori pendukung acara.
    4. Partisipasi UMKM ada, di Bazaar Kuliner, banyak menu khas Tionghoa dan juga makanan kekinian.
  Secara umum Festival Cap Go Meh Singkawang 2024 telah terselenggara dengan baik, namun perlu pengembangan konten rangkaian eventnya. Konten utama event terbukti mampu menarik wisatawan luar daerah apalagi luar negeri untuk mengunjungi event ini.   ENGLISH TRANSLATION Singkawang Cap Gomeh Festival was held from February 10th to 24th, 2024 in Singkawang City, West Kalimantan Province.

Data source: Singkawang Municipal Office for Tourism, Youth, and Sports   Evaluation and Conclusion
  1. Communications with Singkawang Municipal Office of Tourism have been well-organized and unhindered.
  2. Event Execution (Conceptual Relevance, Consistency of Execution, Operationals, and Mitigations)
    • Adequate security by the Police and Army forces during the event.
    • No solution provided for traffic control issues during the event, leaving gridlocks in the access roads into the main event venue.
    • Much room for improvement in the event-management and crowd-control in order to ensure the event runs more efficiently.
    • Promotions were still focused in Singkawang’s vicinity, OoH materials were only placed within the city. No promotion materials were placed in nearby cities/regencies, possibly considering the restriction in effect on this year’s event. No signage was sighted around the event venue.
 
  1. Innovation and Creativity (Decoration, Content, Venue, Improvements from previous years)
    • The concepts and content were relatively similar to previous years’ settings, lacking in innovation and creativity.
    • The decoration utilized the view of the Temple as a natural backdrop of the ceremony, practical and highlighting local content. The city’s makeover was also well done and consistent with the festive atmosphere.
    • The ceremonies were effective and efficient, the contents were compact and uncomplicated. Durations and slots for speeches were adequate, not too long nor too many, thus facilitating the audience’s enjoyment of the attractions.
    • Stage performances adequately showcased national values as well as local wisdom.
    • Lack of punctuality; the event was 1.5 hours late, due to late arrivals of government officials who had been caught in traffic jams on the way to the venue.
 
  1. Amenities and Accessibility for MSME Participants
    1. Amenities were adequate, yet the tariffs drastically increased several folds compared to previous years.
    2. Accessibility: the distance to the venue was 150 kilometers from the Supadio airport in Pontianak, taking more than four hours on cars. The Singkawang airport is closer but not yet ready for use this year.
    3. Forms of creative economy were found in the city decorations all around Singkawang, as well as in the costumes and accessories of stage performers.
    4. MSME participations were centered in the Culinary Bazaar, dominated by Chinese cuisine and modern dishes.
  In general, the 2024 Singkawang Cap Go Meh Festival has been well organized. However, its content development needs to improve. The main event’s content has proven to be most effective in attracting domestic and foreign tourists to visit this event.
