ICON BEACH FESTIVAL 2026 took place along the beachfront area of ICON BALI in Denpasar from September 19 to 20, 2026. The annual event, held to mark ICON BALI's second anniversary, combined music, fashion, modeling competitions, community engagement, and creative talent showcases.

On the second day, the festival shifted to an elegant fashion-focused atmosphere, with the main stage transformed into a runway for a modeling competition themed "Coastal Chic." Prominent Bali-based designers, including Cap Bali, Aster Design, DAM Apparel, DEJONG, and Hanna The Gorgeous, showcased creative coastal-inspired fashion pieces.
Beyond the stage performances, the festival also served as a platform for local economic activity through a creative bazaar featuring 30 selected vendors offering fashion items, accessories, and culinary options. Popular stalls such as STUJA Di Pantai, Babi Guling Pande Egi, Sate Babi Bawah Pohon, 2080 Burger, and Jejak Bumi Eco Print attracted both local and international visitors.

Sherly Pertiaz, Chief Public Relations of ICON BALI, said the first day offered a free K-pop concert for the public, while the second day gave a stage to young Balinese talent in fashion and modeling, aiming to bring their creativity to a wider audience.
The festival was presented by Bank BCA and supported by strategic partners including The Meru, éL Hotel & Resort Bali Sanur, Bluebird Group, Cinema XXI, Hatten Wines, Ticket To The Moon, Pafu, and Bali United Media.
Things to Consider
Since ICON BALI is likely to host similar large-scale events in the future, following their social media or official announcements can help visitors catch free concerts or bazaars next time. During such events, expect traffic congestion and limited parking nearby, so using ride-hailing apps like Grab or Gojek, or walking, is advisable. Those interested in fashion or local cuisine should consider checking out the bazaar to try local designers' work and street food when similar festivals occur.
