Lovina Beach Festival

The Lovina Beach Festival is held in September each year along Kalibukbuk Beach on the northern part of the island near Lovina.

One of the reasons why this festival attracts many tourists is that it remains true to the rich cultural heritage with a number of traditional shows and arts and crafts exhibitions.

One of the main reasons for this beach festival is that it draws thousands of people to a less-visited part of the island, Lovina. As Lovina is located on the northern coast of Bali, not many people make the effort to travel up there during their stay in Bali. However, the people in the Buleleng Regency want as many visitors as possible to travel up here to see the natural beauty of this part of the island.

The Lovina Beach Festival is a 3-day festival that highlights the traditions and cultural practices of the Balinese people. An opening ceremony opens the event with a parade which features music and dance.

Other highlights of the festival are the handicraft exhibitions, photography contests, flower offerings, bull race, puppet performances and plenty of live music. You will find plenty of food and drink stalls serving local Balinese cuisine and some traditional favourites.

The closing event includes a traditional Northern Balinese dance performance including the Ki Barak Panji Sakti and Gong Kebyar. Locals and foreigners are welcome to attend all events, as it is promoted as an inclusive event.

The Lovina Beach Festival is about a 3 hours drive from Kuta beach. So why not come and stay for a night or two and explore this beautiful part of Bali.
