Malang - Malang Creative Center is a form of contribution by the Government of Malang City through the Department of Industry and Trade Cooperatives in managing and maintaining the Creative Economy ecosystem in Malang City. One is to accommodate creative activities organized by various parties, including Pasar Santai V. This activity, initiated by Malang City youth, was initially named Renggeng-Renggeng Ramadhan, held in the month of Ramadan every year.

Pasar Santai V will be held this year from Thursday, 6 April 2022, to Sunday, 16 April 2022, every 15.00 WIB to 21.00 WIB. Many creative industry players took part in revitalizing this year's Pasar Santai V. There are several sectors when we enter this activity area at MCC Floor 3. Visitors are required to register to be able to access this activity. But calm down, the registration requirements are only by filling in the telephone number free of charge, and we will get a barcode as a condition for access to the activity.

Pasar Santai V has several creative industry sectors ranging from Services, Applied Arts, and also the Food and Beverage sector. The first time we enter, we will be presented with various works or mock-ups from various groups and agencies engaged in design services. Here we can ask questions and consult regarding the services they provide.

"Activities like this are very profitable, especially as creative industry players, who in fact are still pioneering this activity, can be a place for us to promote as well," said one of the industry players who took part in enlivening Pasar Santai V. It is possible that an event like this will break the industry local creatives are becoming more developed and increasingly known in the community, to realize the Creative Economy proclaimed by the government.

Crowded ambience at applied art sector.

             The next sector is Applied Arts which presents several handmade works such as bracelets, tablecloths, and several fashion products such as T-shirts, shirts, hats, and bags. Many brands have just started here, such as EGG (Educative, Geek, and Gorgeous), with pretty exciting products. EGG is a brand that produces T-shirts and bags for children, with a unique concept of teaching children knowledge from an early age. For every purchase of an EGG product, consumers will get a card with a description of something that can be taught to children.

Food & Beverages sector provide sitting area for customer facing directly onto the stage.

             Food and Beverage is also an exciting sector considering that this activity is held during Ramadan. This sector is filled with people who fill their free time, do ngabuburit or look for takjil to perform the iftar. Not only traditional food or local food. Some sell European and Belgian specialties such as waffles. This is the main attraction for visitors to try.

Apart from tenants from several creative industry players, this activity also provides seating for visitors who want to enjoy food on the spot while participating in a workshop. Pasar Santi V also organizes workshops that are given free of charge to all visitors to be able to study together, whether it's a workshop on making handicrafts or discussions with invited speakers. Of course, this will be a place as well as a medium for the development of creative industries in Malang City.
