The 2024 Religious Festival is one of the largest annual religious events in Indonesia, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from various parts of the world.

The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis methods to identify risk categories and mitigation strategies applied. The results reveal that the primary risk faced in organizing the Religious Festival is crowd control. The mitigation strategies implemented include contingency planning, training, and simulation for security personnel, the use of technology for weather monitoring, and cooperation with various related parties. This study provides valuable insights for cultural event organizers in managing complex and dynamic risks. The recommendations derived from this study are expected to enhance the effectiveness of risk management in similar festivals in the future, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors.]]>
