The Annual Bali Art Festival


This annual event usually held on midyear around June or July. All the art performances take place at Art Centre in Denpasar. For 30 days the festival presents arts and cultures performances from all regions of Bali. Actually not just from Bali, every year the festival would have guest performances from other provinces of Indonesia and foreign countries likes Japan, Australia, USA, etc.


So you don’t need goes around the island to find interesting art and cultures from every region of Bali, just come to the festival and you’ll find almost everything about the art and culture from all over Bali not to mention a bonus to see different cultures from other province in Indonesia and other countries.




What I like to see every time the event comes is the opening ceremonial that usually takes place at Bajra Sandi Monument in Renon Denpasar. Just like opening in sport event we will see the parade of the participants. In this festival the participants are represent all regions of Bali, other province of Indonesia and foreign countries.



The interesting parts of the parade that all the participants will wears their traditional outfit and performed a unique culture of their regions or countries. Unfortunately I could not watched the parade this year, but I still have some pictures from the opening ceremony parade last year.
