Sanur Village Festival

The otherwise sleepy coastal village of Sanur comes to life in
August with its own week-long celebration. Sanur Village Festival
(SVF) is a community event founded by Sanur Development
Foundation (YPS) which is a combination of several large-scale
activities involving food festival, creative
economy exhibition, various contests and competitions,
art and cultural attractions, music as well as
various types of environmentally-friendly activities.

Perang Pandan

Perang Pandan at Tenganan village, East Bali, is
an age-old tradition unique only to this well-preserved
old Balinese village in the Karangasem regency.
Also referred to locally as mekare-kare and megeret
pandan, Perang Pandan is a mass coming-of-age ritual,
dedicated to the Hindu god of war and the sky, Indra.

It sees friendly duels between all male villagers, who
bout each other armed with a small rattan shield in one hand and a tied packet of
thorny 'pandan' leaves in the other.

Nusa Dua Fiesta

Nusa Dua Fiesta is a week of art exhibitions, cultural
performances and sporting events that are held in
the luxury beach resort area on Bali’s southeast
coast. Held annually since 1996, the festival welcomes the
general public to this otherwise exclusive tourism enclave,
with a variety of side shows and events held in
various venues throughout the area, but with opening
and closing ceremonies at Nusa Dua’s landmark peninsula
venue.

Ultra Beach Bali
Ever since its debut in 2015, Ultra Beach Bali has made
its home at the Potato Head Beach Club in Seminyak,
as the Bali leg of the worldwide Ultra Music Festival and

the Resistance World Tour. The festival brings together
electronic digital music enthusiasts and partygoers with
live shows that feature a bumper line-up of big-name
EDM DJs. The main Seminyak beachfront venue at
Potato Head usually gears up with cutting-edge stage
production, combined with stunning laser and visual
effects and quality sound systems to pump out the tracks from world-renowned,
heavyweight performers.
