Jember Fashion Carnival[edit]

The Jember Fashion Carnaval is an annual event. In the tenth carnival in 2011, over 600 participants walked along the world's longest catwalk. It ran for 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi), along Jalan P.B. Sudirman (Central Park) and Jalan Gajah Mada up to the Jember Sport Hall.[5]

Airport[edit]

An expansion of dormant Notohadinegoro Airport was verified for reuse/operational in June 2014. The airport now has 1,705 meters runway and was ready to serve up to ATR 72/600.

However, the airport has been closed since April 2020 with no plans to reopen. High jet fuel prices and a lack of demand make Notohadinegoro Airport unprofitable for domestic airlines.
