‘Berahoi’, traditional Malay culture, is an asset supposedly from Langkat history from the area of Batubara County. Since 200 years, ‘Berahoi’ tradition has existed in Bahorok, a district in Langkat, which symbolizes the cycle of farming as a tradition in the country that has existed as an agricultural country for a long time . Revitalizing the tradition of ‘Berahoi’ requires another vehicle in the form of an annual minimum number of regular performances on a local and even national scale; and then on an international scale, a colossal festival was initiated in realizing the creative industries.
