Yaqowiyu is a traditional Javanese religious festival held in Jatinom, Klaten Regency, Central Java.
Thousands of apems will be distributed from a platform established in the mosque located in the funeral complex of Ki Ageng Gribig.

Yaqowiyu was first introduced by Ki Ageng Gribig, who is believed to be the descendant of Brawijaya, after his return from the hajji pilgrimage in Mecca.
