Indonesian cultural and tourism festivals

Overview

In late September 2026, Indonesia held various cultural and lifestyle festivals aimed at preserving local traditions and stimulating regional tourism.

Initial activities included the Erau Traditional Festival in Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan, which featured sacred rituals at the Kutai Kartanegara Ing Martadipura Palace. In Tangerang, the Kirab Budaya and Ruwat Bumi event was organized to commemorate the 43rd anniversary of the Tjie Thien Ta Sen Bio Temple.

By late September, the focus expanded to include major events in Bali, such as the Bali International Fashion Week and BMW Motorrad Days, the latter of which hosted over 1,000 riders from 32 countries. Other regional initiatives included the inaugural Jong Fest in Mengwi to support small enterprises, the Desamorfosis 2026 festival in Klaten highlighting village tourism, and the Nusantara International Folklore Festival in Ubud, which brought together over 250 performers from five countries.
