Bali Art Festival XXX

The Bali Arts Festival is one of the premier events on the Balinese calendar.

The Opening Ceremony and Cultural Parade is not to be missed. If you happen to be anywhere near Bali on 14 June we recommend you make an effort to come watch this extravaganza.

This is not just another parade. All areas of Bali send representatives dressed to impress their fellow parade participants as much as the spectators and as such you will see Bali in all its glorious finery. Make sure you bring a camera or videocam with lots of film and batteries.

During the festival most evenings feature a dance or drama at the Art Center in Denpasar. These performances are among the best most visitors will ever see. Performances are for the local Balinese - not tourists (but tourists are warmly welcomed) and the entire atmosphere makes for an evening you will cherish for a long, long time.

Check with your hotel's concierge for details and schedule of events.
