Abstract

Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC) is a cultural event created by a prominent fashion designer in Jember City. The existence of these events has transformed the City of Jember, which was just a little-known small town, into a city that is widely known nationally and internationally. Events on stage and the most colossal fashion show with the longest and largest catwalk in the world, using the road segments protocol in the City of Jember are witnessed by thousands of tourists. Research using observation methods, FGD and in-depth interviews with JFC actors revealed that the event involves an invention of tradition, which takes place every year, and becomes a catalyst for the development of Jember city tourism which inflates the number of tourist visits to other tourist attraction locations in the city. JFC is a city icon that has an economic multiplier effect for the City of Jember.
