Why choose Bali for New Year’s Eve 2017?

Celebrating New Year’s Eve in Bali is not only famous for the outdoor festivities, but it’s equally famous for the celebrations that go on in hotels and bars.  My advice is, make sure to book a place in advance because there are many offers and rates for each tourist spot.

Kuta, Seminyak, and Legian are the hot spots for party through the night by young travelers.  There are a host of pubs and bars, restaurants, and cafes to choose from.

If you travel with family, Bali has it all for you.  Bali welcomes you and your family with spectacular firework displays at midnight.  Make sure to find your perfect spot to enjoy the fireworks  at one of these locations: Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Puputan Badung Square, and Jimbaran Bay.  Don’t miss the Denpasar Festival here in the Puputan Badung Square complete with its attractions.

The festival was first held in 2008 to promote the art and culture of Bali, and was formerly known as the Gajah Mada Town Festival.  Now the  festival attracts more visitors and gives the artists the opportunity to create fresh and magnificent works of art.   According to the mayor of Denpasar I. B Dharmawijaya Mantra, this festival should be a combination of tradition and  modern art forms to attract more visitors to Bali, especially during the peak Christmas season and New Year Holiday.  You will see the creative works of young artists and masters who work together in their creations for this festival to present a very fresh and spectacular end of 2016 with joy.
