DENPASAR - The people of Bali not only Muslims but also tourists have started to hunt for takjil and fasting breaking menus at the Denpasar Grand Mosque Ramadan Market or Wanasari Muslim Village.
"If our visitors are diverse, we do not hinder them, in fact there are foreign tourists looking for food here, while for Muslims there are usually many people at 5 p.m. who go home from work to stop by here," said the Coordinator of the Ramadan Market at the Baiturrahmah Grand Mosque, Denpasar, Marjuki Fathan.
He said in Denpasar, Saturday, that every year since this Ramadan Market has gone viral on social media, many people and tourists come to shop and capture content.
As a result, in recent years, the enthusiasm of MSMEs to sell has continued to increase until it exceeds the capacity of the Wanasari Muslim Village area.
"Every year the participants are increasing, but we have limited space for MSMEs, this year there are 79 businesses that have been recorded so we divide it in the area around the mosque around 35 and the rest in the mosque land across the retail," said Marjuki.
The dozens of MSMEs have been selling since February 19 to March 16, 2026, then will close ahead of Holy Day of Silence.
If you look back to the previous year, in one day, the committee calculated that each trader had at least IDR 1 million in net income.
Thus, this Ramadan Market, in addition to bringing cheer to the community and tourists, is believed to bring blessings to MSMEs.
The selected MSMEs are not just any, the majority are chosen because they are local residents whose daily economy depends on trading, the rest are traders outside the Muslim Wanasari Village who volunteered.
"We are not too selective, the important thing is that he wants to follow directions such as paying dues starting from Rp. 35 thousand per day and ensuring that he does not sell merchandise that uses sweeteners, dyes and preservatives, we are implementing this for the sake of humanizing MSMEs," said Marjuki.
The committee itself saw the enthusiasm of visitors to the Ramadan Market not only from the viral location on social media, but also from the characteristics of the merchandise of business actors.
What many people and tourists look at is not only the sweet snacks for takjil but also the milk satay, a culinary made from beef that is only sold during Ramadan at the market.
One of the local community residents, a visitor to the culinary exhibition, named Kadek Yudia, said that since last Ramadan he had tried culinary there.
Even though he doesn't fast, he still buys snacks and heavy food sold in Wanasari Muslim Village for dinner and snacks.
"Last year I was here, I didn't fast so I bought milk satay, fried food, and sweet snacks for the house to eat later, the price is not too expensive, I also recorded the situation to make content," he said.
