===Arts and festivals===
[[File:Sang Pawang Ondel Ondel.jpg|thumb|''[[Ondel-ondel]]'' puppets are the mascot of the city and the symbol of [[Betawi people|Betawi]] culture]]
The [[Betawi people|Betawi]] culture is distinct from those of the [[Sundanese people|Sundanese]] or [[Javanese people|Javanese]], forming a [[language island]] in the surrounding area. There is a significant Chinese influence in Betawi culture, reflected in the popularity of Chinese cakes and sweets, [[firecracker]]s, and Betawi wedding attire that demonstrates Chinese and Arab influences.

Some festivals such as the ''Jalan Jaksa Festival'', ''Kemang Festival'', ''Festival Condet'' and ''Lebaran Betawi'' include efforts to preserve Betawi arts by inviting artists to display performances.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/08/23/lebaran-betawi-an-event-maintain-bonds-and-traditions.html |title=Lebaran Betawi: An event to maintain bonds and traditions |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |access-date=27 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727113539/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/08/23/lebaran-betawi-an-event-maintain-bonds-and-traditions.html |archive-date=27 July 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://megapolitan.kompas.com/read/2019/07/27/16343861/festival-condet-2019-upaya-untuk-lestarikan-budaya-betawi |title=Festival Condet 2019, Upaya untuk Lestarikan Budaya Betawi |newspaper=Kompas |access-date=27 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727111921/https://megapolitan.kompas.com/read/2019/07/27/16343861/festival-condet-2019-upaya-untuk-lestarikan-budaya-betawi |archive-date=27 July 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Knörr|2007}}</ref> Jakarta has several performing art centres, such as the classical concert hall Aula Simfonia Jakarta in Kemayoran, [[Taman Ismail Marzuki]] (TIM) art centre in Cikini, [[Gedung Kesenian Jakarta]] near Pasar Baru, Balai Sarbini in the Plaza Semanggi area, [[Bentara Budaya Jakarta]] in the Palmerah area, Pasar Seni (Art Market) in [[Ancol Dreamland|Ancol]], and traditional Indonesian art performances at the pavilions of some provinces in [[Taman Mini Indonesia Indah]].
