bali art festival 2019
PresidentJoko Widodo (Jokowi) took his grandson Jan Ethes Sri Narendra to watch the 41st Bali Art Festival (PKB) parade in 2019 in front of the Bali People's Struggle ANTARA News jateng english Bali is a rarity in Southeast Asia a vibrant Hindu-majority community in a region dominated by Islam and Buddhism; a hot tourist commodity where Western and traditionally indigenous ideas sit in a stable yet uneasy balance. Bali’s holiday calendar represents this paradoxical push-and-pull of traditions and influences on the island a mix of Hindu and secular celebrations that welcome tourist participation in good faith. When planning your visit to Bali, consult this list and sync up your trip with any of the celebrations below! 01 of 11 Nyepi Frank Carter/Lonely Planet Images/Getty Images Nyepi, the Balinese New Year, is an interesting anomaly as far as traditional New Year celebrations go. Instead of ringing in the New Year with fireworks and noisemakers, the deeply devout Balinese celebrate Nyepi in near-absolute silence. As the sun sets on the day before Nyepi, Balinese converge on the main crossroad of their respective villages in a raucous celebration known as Pengerupukan, where villagers in Bali carry ogoh-ogoh monsters symbolizing evil spirits that burden people's lives. On the day of Nyepi itself, the Balinese stop all their activities, turn off all lights, refrain from entertainment, and fast the whole day. The silence of Nyepi is supposed to fool evil spirits, who will think the island is uninhabited and leave Bali in peace. During Nyepi, tourists are requested to stay in their hotels for the whole day. Activity only picks up on the day after Nyepi, the day known as Ngembak Geni, as Balinese meet up to seek forgiveness from each other. In 2020, Nyepi takes place on March 25. 02 of 11 Bali Spirit Festival Denitsa Kibarska/Bali Spirit Festival Bali cornered the market on wellness tourism in Southeast Asia long before "Eat Pray Love." The Bali Spirit Festival brings the island’s spirituality to a fever pitch, with a seven-day festival of workshops, concerts, markets and other events. Taking place in Bali’s cultural capital, Ubud, the Bali Spirit Festival brings in visitors looking to explore different dimensions of their spiritual selves. Yoga lovers can take part in classes covering different disciplines Vinyasa, Astanga, Kundalini, Tantra and more. Dance classes take participants on a different kind of flow, and nightly music festivals combine the best of world music and hypnotic EDM beats. Holistic healing methods, championed by different experts from around the world, can be experienced through sessions throughout the week. And a wide range of other spirituality-related workshops will unfold throughout the course of the festival. In 2020, the Bali Spirit Festival takes place in April dates TBA. 03 of 11 Tumpek Wayang Frans Lemmens/Getty Images The most important day of the year for Balinese wayang shadow puppet performers, Tumpek Wayang sees a flowering of wayang performances throughout the island. The tradition of holding wayang performances on this date is rooted in Balinese myth. Balinese Hindus believe that the god of the underworld, Batara Kala, has cursed children born on Tumpek Wayang; such “wrongly born” people can purify themselves by staging a special type of shadow play called the sapuh leger. When visiting during Tumpek Wayang, check with a local community for a sapuh leger performance, or swing by a local Balinese temple to see the puppets, arranged in a row for blessing by a priest. Tumpek Wayang follows the 210-day pawukon calendar; in 2019, the festival takes place twice, on April 20 and November 16. 04 of 11 Ubud Food Festival Lowestock/Getty Images Bali’s food scene is rich and varied, but the island’s size means you can’t enjoy its full range if you’re just staying for a few days. Time your trip for the Ubud Food Festival instead — so you can just stay in Ubud and watch the food scene come to you! The Festival brings together local and international chefs and food personalities — with the aim of sharing Indonesia’s rich culinary culture with the world. Foodies can visit kitchen stage demos and attend talks presented by famous experts like Indonesia’s William Wongso and MasterChef ice cream maven Ben Ungermann, covering topics as diverse as Peranakan cuisine and slow food. Non-professionals can buy passes to the event to try the Balinese and international dishes prepared for the Festival. In 2019, the Ubud Food Festival takes place from April 26 to 28.

Galungan kicks off a 10-day, Bali-wide celebration that honors the one God above all Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa, also called the Inconceivable Acintya as Galungan kicks off, the Balinese show a warm welcome to spirits with rituals in both their homes and in local temples. The Ngelawang ritual is the one sight to see during Galungan an exorcism ceremony with a man dressed as a “barong” a mythical beast that symbolizes divine protection. The barong’s rounds through the village is intended to restore the balance of good and evil — locals make a small offering to the barong in exchange.

Over 10,000 runners from 46 countries are expected to sign up this year to run a course known as one of "The 52 Best Races on Earth" by Runners World magazine. Running-minded tourists who sign up for one of the four distances from kids’ dashes, to a 10k, to the half- and full marathons can take in a glorious view of Gianyar and Klungkung regencies’ rice paddies and rolling hills while going through the paces. Balinese local wisdom and hospitality will be on display on different points along the race route, with local communities performing songs, dances and other Balinese cultural acts. Watch this video to get a feel of the marathon, its course and the aftermath. In 2019, the Maybank Bali Marathon takes place on September 9. 11 of 11 Odalan Antony Ratcliffe/Getty Images There’s a temple festival Odalan happening in Bali on every day of the week — inevitable given the thousands of temples throughout the island. Odalan celebrate the founding of the temple with a parade of offerings by local devotees, accompanied by traditional music. To entertain both gods and the crowds on earth, the temple holds Balinese dance performances. The temple becomes a riot of penjor Balinese banners, flowers and devotees on the scene to celebrate as a community. Most odalan take place over the course of one or more days, coinciding with either a full or new moon. Every temple has its own odalan, dictated by the 210-day pawukon calendar. For each of the top temples in Bali, we’ve listed the next odalan season so you can plan your trip accordingly.

15 June, 2019 The 41st edition of this year has just begun, so it’s going to be a good refresh. Today is the Opening Ceremony of Bali Arts Festival, you can find the post on the blog. The Bali Arts Festival will be held this year between 15 June and 13 July. I briefly described, more in pictures, our experience from last year. The Bali Art Festival has emerged as a response to the rapid development of tourism, trying to prevent the destruction and disappearance of the Balinese Arts. When you think of Indonesia, Bali is the first island that comes to your mind. With a vast Balinese culture, the inhabitants are proud of their traditions and religion. There are ceremonies every day on the streets of Denpasar. After the Opening Ceremony, the show moved to the Bali Cultural Center Werdhi Budaya Art Center. This place is a summary of the local architecture with a small garden and a museum of artifacts from the history of the island. Every day there are performances on several scenes, all open to the public and with free entrance. Most of the troops come from Bali, but there are some from other islands or countries. Last year there were from China, Korea and Japan. Besides, traditional foods can also be tasted, admiring hand-made items and Balinese clothes. We usually try to go to less touristic places and experience as much as possible from people’s culture and customs. I can say that this festival was one of them. I saw few tourists, predominantly locals, with their families who came every day, watched a play, stood at a picnic on the green spaces or ate something from the culinary corner. Our local friends were dissatisfied with the multitude of sellers, a kind of bazaar of clothes and other merchandise. I saw it as an opportunity for them to earn money for their families. Being such an important event, they had significant sales every day. It was a real pleasure and relaxation to lose ourselves among the participants, we could sit back and watch the shows. I admit that sometimes we took advantage of being westerners and we went to the VIP or front lodge, no one was angry in any way. You can find the 2019 Program here.
