Nuanu brings Bali’s Independent Food scene together in a three-day Food Festival

As the year draws to a close, Nuanu Creative City invites families and friends to gather around what matters most: food, time and togetherness. Bali is home to countless places offering delicious food and refreshing beverages. But only at Nuanu Creative City can visitors experience a highly curated gathering of independent culinary talents, brought together with performing arts and live music that invites families to eat, move, and celebrate together. Happening from 26–28 December 2025, Ruang Rasa transforms Nuanu into a vibrant space of flavor and connection just days before the year-end countdown. Curated by Food Coma, the event brings together more than 30 independent culinary players from across Bali, each presenting distinctive dishes that reflect the island’s diverse and evolving food culture.

“We asked ourselves what people actually want at the end of the year,” said Ida Ayu Astari Prada, Director of Communications Nuanu. “Not more noise, not more spectacle but time together. Food has a way of slowing us down and bringing us back to the same table. Ruang Rasa is about creating that space where families and loved ones can eat well, spend time together and close the year feeling connected.”

Designed as more than a food festival, Ruang Rasa is a shared experience where food becomes a gateway to memory-making. Communal dining areas, open-air settings, and live performances create an atmosphere where families can slow down and spend meaningful time together—sharing meals, conversations, and moments that linger beyond the festive season.

Live music and performing arts are woven naturally throughout the experience, turning meals into moments and inviting visitors of all ages to engage beyond the plate. Children, parents, and loved ones are encouraged to move freely within the space, creating an environment where celebration feels organic, joyful, and inclusive.

Through Ruang Rasa, Nuanu reinforces its position as a must-visit destination where festive seasons are celebrated through culture, creativity, and togetherness. Positioned just before New Year’s Eve, the event offers an alternative to countdown-focused festivities, inviting visitors to close the year by creating new traditions rooted in shared experiences.

Ruang Rasa takes place from 26–28 December 2025 at Nuanu Creative City, Tabanan, Bali. Tickets and further information are available via Megatix.
