Pemuteran Bay Festival 2026 Set for Nov 26-28 in North Bali, Free Entry
The Pemuteran Bay Festival 2026 will be held November 26-28 in Pemuteran, Buleleng Regency, North Bali, combining cultural performances, marine activities, and coral reef conservation programs. Festival entry is free, though diving, accommodation, and meals are charged separately.
According to the official calendar from the Bali Provincial Tourism Office, the Pemuteran Bay Festival 2026 will take place from November 26-28, 2026, in the Pemuteran Bay area of Buleleng Regency, North Bali. The event runs daily from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM local time (WITA).
Pemuteran is known as a marine destination with relatively well-preserved coral reefs, and the festival aims to promote sustainable tourism while strengthening the local economy.
The program includes traditional music and cultural performances, a traditional fishing competition involving local fishermen, a nature fun run along the coast, snorkeling and diving (at separate cost), a local food bazaar featuring North Bali cuisine, a yoga festival, and a photo hunt activity.
A key focus of the festival is coral reef conservation, with a Biorock Workshop and installation of new coral restoration structures using technology already applied by the Pemuteran community. Visitors can join environmental education sessions to learn about marine ecosystem preservation. An Arttrash Workshop, which transforms waste into creative works, will also be held.
According to Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism, entry to the festival area is free. However, transportation, meals, accommodation, and specific activities such as diving, snorkeling, or marine tours are charged separately.
For families, a Kids Edutainment program introduces children to marine life, waste management, and conservation in an engaging way, making the festival a family-friendly addition to the North Bali travel calendar.
