In October 2026, regional activities focused on community engagement and celebrations. In Sumenep, the Regional House of Representatives organized a healthy walk to strengthen ties between legislators and citizens. Simultaneously, in South Sulawesi, tens of thousands of people gathered in Makassar for the province’s 357th anniversary, featuring a parade to showcase local agricultural products and regional identity.

By November 2026, the focus shifted toward national recognition for regional tourism. In Bali, representatives from South Sulawesi achieved high placements in the 2026 Indonesian Tourism Ambassador competition. Additionally, Simarasok Village in West Sumatra was recognized as one of the top 15 national tourism villages in the Wonderful Indonesia Award 2026 for its integration of natural landmarks and Minangkabau culture.
