The promotion process, which was previously done face- to-face, has now been mediated by computer or commonly known as CMC (Computer Mediated Communication). The purpose of this study was to identify the form of the Bogor Street Festival Cap Go Meh promotion carried out by the Instagram account @cgmbogor_fest. The method used in this research is virtual ethnography. Through a virtual in-depth observation method that has been carried out, it is known that the committee of the Cap Go Meh Bogor Street Festival promotes tourism through the @cgmbogor_fest account by uploading digital posters, photos, videos and photo grid. Of the four forms of digital promotion on the @cgmbogor_fest account, digital poster is the main promotional tool because in the poster there is some information, including the time and place of the festival, the performers, contact numbers and contactable social media. The use of social media is one of the media that is often used for tourism promotion because it can increase public awareness to be able to present a real place with the help of information from cyberspace.
