The 48th Bali Arts Festival (Pesta Kesenian Bali) starts today, 13 June, and runs through to 11 July 2026.

This month-long celebration of Balinese art, dance, and culture is held primarily at the Taman Werdhi Budaya Art Center and the Bajra Sandhi Monument in Denpasar. It's one of the largest and most important cultural events on the Balinese calendar, and free to attend.

If you're planning a trip to Bali this month, this is a great reason to time it right. Denpasar is about 30 minutes from Seminyak.

June is one of the best months to be in Bali.

Galungan falls on 17 June this year. Bamboo penjor poles line every street, ceremonies fill every village, and the whole island feels different. It's the kind of thing you don't forget.

If you're planning a trip, this is a good time to come.

Traveling in Bali just got even easier! 💳📱

The QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) system makes it simpler than ever to pay at restaurants, shops, and hotels. This QR-code-based system allows you to use your home currency directly from your smart device.

While it’s already a game-changer for travelers from Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, the system is quickly expanding to more countries.

Pro Tip: Look for the "Indonesia Tourist Travel Pack" at Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. It includes a local SIM card and an e-wallet to help you get started with cashless payments immediately.

Less time worrying about cash means more time to enjoy your holiday.

On March 19th, Bali goes silent for Nyepi.
For a full 24 hours, the entire island comes to a complete standstill. No flights, no lights, no noise, and no stepping outside. It is a sacred day dedicated entirely to fasting, meditation, and looking inward to prepare for the New Year.
Happy Nyepi Day, Saka New Year 1948.

Selamat Hari Raya Nyepi, Tahun Baru Saka 1948.
Semoga membawa kedamaian dan awal yang baru.
