Nusa Dua Fiesta presents a colourful week of art exhibitions, cultural performances and sporting events to the namesake beach resort area on Bali’s south-eastern coast. First held in 1996 as Nusa Dua Festival, it opens up the otherwise exclusive tourism complex to the general public, with different events held in various venues throughout the area.
The festival usually takes place in October each year and opens with an opening ceremony and parade at Nusa Dua’s landmark peninsular area. The streets come alive with parades featuring vivid floats from all of the 5-star resorts within the ITDC complex. As part of the festivity, you can admire various exhibits ranging from handicrafts to unique bonsais and antique automobiles on display.
