The 2019 Sanur Village Festival is the 14th village party
that is held within the village of Sanur, Badung regency. August until September is the best month to have
the village festival in Sanur. It is the month of the windy season, thus the
kite festival that comes along as a part of the Sanur Village Festival is just
perfect to be held the festivities.
Instead of having the festival at the Segara Beach, this
year it is held at the Matahari Terbit beach. It was a wise decision. In terms
of location and how the place would accommodate parking, stage(s), food
vendors, etc. –it’s PERFECT!
Since the beginning of Bali village festivals, Sanur village
was not the most popular! But to date, it is one of the best and the only Bali village
festival that made it to Indonesia’s top eight tourism event calendar.
With the theme of the festival “Dharmaning Gesing” (the new
spirit of heritage) it glorifies bamboo and it’s use. As you all probably know,
bamboo (besides coconut)—has a huge role in Balinese life such as religious
ceremonies, buildings, etc. In this regard, the usage of bamboo in this 2019
festival was meant to build the awareness of the importance of bamboo in
Balinese life and encourage togetherness in protecting the environment.
These light trees are made of bamboo structure,
The starfish lounge used bamboo constructions,
The typical and original Sanur fish soup and fried fish,
My favorite food vendor, Indian food called "The Queens Tandor,
Art installations that decorate the area (one among many),
There are plenty mini events in various places in Sanur during the Sanur Village festival. Particularly that I love the most on the events at Matahari Terbit beach is that the main stage has 5 days of Jazz life concerts, listed here.
And as you can see from my previous post, the kite festival is here.
Photography & art exhibitions, parades, etc. you can check here
