The Nusa Dua Festival
The Nusa Dua Festival
The Nusa Dua Festival is one of Bali’s most vibrant annual celebrations, held each October at Peninsula Island in The Nusa Dua complex. Organized by the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) and supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the festival brings together Bali’s cultural richness with contemporary performances, culinary arts, and community spirit.
Over two days, the streets of The Nusa Dua come alive with elaborate resort parades featuring floats from Nusa Dua’s five-star hotels, traditional Balinese dance performances, live music concerts, DJ battles, bodypainting showcases, and fashion shows from designer boutiques at Bali Collection. Culinary competitions hosted by the national chefs association sit alongside food stalls offering both traditional Balinese dishes and contemporary fusion cuisine.
The festival is a national arts event drawing participants from across Indonesia — one of the broadest cultural showcases on Bali’s events calendar. Entrance tickets typically start from IDR 75,000.
Note: The 2026 Nusa Dua Festival dates have not yet been officially announced by ITDC. Based on previous years, the festival consistently runs on the weekend closest to October 25–26. Check back here and the official ITDC channels for confirmed 2026 dates.
