Abstract

Religious moderation is a crucial foundation for maintaining tolerance and social harmony in a plural society. Munte Village, Karo Regency, North Sumatra, is a community with religious and cultural diversity, so efforts to instill moderation values need to be delivered in a way that is enjoyable and reaches all age groups. This community service program was designed as a village festival containing six competitions: adhan, short surah memorization, creative dance, poetry, coloring, and fashion show. The festival was held on 24 August 2026 and involved 150 participants from three public elementary schools, one Islamic foundation school, and one public junior high school. Poetry had 17 participants, fashion show 14, and creative dance 3 groups of 5–6 members, while the remaining participants joined the coloring, adhan, and short surah memorization competitions. Observations and an interview with the village head showed that participants and residents interacted harmoniously regardless of religious background, and that residents who had previously rarely joined village activities began to attend and support the event. The main obstacles were limited preparation time, the need to coordinate many parties, and limited resources. In conclusion, the festival served as a participatory medium that opens wider spaces for social interaction and participation among residents and has the potential to strengthen tolerance and harmony at the village level.
