Perhaps this event is the biggest annual celebration of arts and culture in Bali.  The Annual Bali Arts Festival 2019 features various artworks and cultural achievements of the local artists all over Bali.  Every year the event attracts local  and international visitors to the Taman Werdhi Budaya Arts Centre in Denpasar Bali.   The Arts Centre is the main location where most of the daily exhibitions and art performances will be held for a month. 

“The Bali Arts Festival brings the island’s cultural scene to life for a whole month of daily exhibitions, performances and an array of art-related activities.”

Some events are held in a 6000-seat amphitheater, a venue that allows you to enjoy the spectacular colossal choreography of traditional Balinese dance, the story based on the Classical Ramahaya and Mahabaratha, other other ancient folklore stories.

The Arts Festival features dance dramas (Sendratari), Bali's Modern theatre, Photography, Workshops, Culinary festivals, and musical performances. There will also be a wide choice of competitions to participate in that include documentary movie competitions, handicrafts, literary writing, painting, photography competitions, - the whole gamut. Parades and dramatic and opulent processions will also be shown, including the Gong Kebyar, the Topeng Panca (the Balinese mask dance), Nglawang, Dramatari Arja, WayangKulit Parwa, JogedBumbung, the Modern Bondres (the Balinese comedy, play) Competition, the Baleganjur Competition for Children, Drama Gong Parade featuring Balinese modern lyrics, WayangKulitBabad, and other new creative artistic performances, and more.
