Cultures

Parung is one of the sub-districts in Bogor Regency, West Java. This area is close to the border of South Tangerang and Depok which is the center of Betawi culture so that there is a mix of Betawi culture with local Sundanese culture in the Parung area.

The mixing of cultures in the Parung sub-district causes the typical arts of the Parung sub-district to also vary. There are religious arts such as marawis, tambourine, then kelaran parade arts and cucurak which have existed in Parung sub-district since ancient times. Traditional cultural values such as marawis and tambourines are still inherent in Parung sub-district.

Sundanese language is also still used by the community in several villages in the Parung sub-district which borders Ciseeng district and Kemang district, but some still use Betawi language in the area bordering Depok and South Tangerang.
