Nuanu Cultural Week Presents a Celebration of Indonesian Culture During the Lebaran Holiday

March 27, 2026 – Nuanu, Bali, Indonesia – Over the course of ten days, Nuanu Cultural Week presented a series of programs that brought together thousands of visitors from across Indonesia and around the world into a shared cultural experience that was both open and participatory. Held from March 20 to 29, 2026, the program coincided with the Lebaran holiday—a time when togetherness and connections across communities feel especially meaningful.

Taking place across multiple venues within Nuanu Creative City, Nuanu Cultural Week featured a diverse range of performances, workshops, and community-driven activities rooted in Balinese culture and enriched by the broader cultural expressions of Indonesia. Throughout the program, visitors experienced performances ranging from Kecak and gamelan to qasidah and hadrah—creating a space where different traditions coexisted and complemented one another.

The atmosphere throughout the event reflected the diversity of its audience—from families spending the Lebaran holiday in Bali, to local communities, and international visitors. These encounters offered not only a recreational experience, but also an opportunity to engage with and understand culture in a more direct and meaningful way.

“Nuanu Cultural Week was designed as a space where culture is not only presented, but also experienced and shared,” said Ida Ayu Astari Prada, Brand and Communications Director of Nuanu Creative City. “During moments like Lebaran, when people come together and travel, we see the importance of creating spaces that connect diverse backgrounds through experiences rooted in culture.”

As part of the program, the Nuanu Social Fund also hosted a youth cultural competition from March 26 to 28, involving 47 participants from various schools and art communities across Bali. Competitions such as Megenjekan, Mejanggeran, Tari Baris, and Tari Condong provided a platform for the younger generation to actively engage in cultural practices, while strengthening their role in sustaining these traditions.

Through the participation of artists, communities, and the wider public, Nuanu Cultural Week demonstrated how a space can become a meeting point for diverse cultural expressions. The program not only showcased performances, but also fostered deeper connections between culture, community, and shared experience.

With the conclusion of this year’s program, Nuanu Creative City remains committed to presenting initiatives that create space for inclusive cultural exchange—where traditions continue to live, evolve, and remain relevant for both present and future generations.
