Nuanu Cultural Week Targets 35,000 Visitors During 2026 Eid Holiday

Nuanu Creative City will hold the Nuanu Cultural Week during the 2026 Eid holiday, presenting a variety of performances, workshops, and cultural competitions that highlight Indonesia’s diversity. The event will run for 10 days, from 20 to 29 March 2026.

The organisation of this event takes advantage of the Eid holiday momentum, which is considered one of the periods with high visitor numbers. In the previous year, Nuanu recorded a significant increase in visitors during the launch of the official ticketing system, coinciding with the pre-Eid period.

This year, Nuanu targets 35,000 visitors during the event. This target is deemed realistic given the high mobility of the public during the holiday season.

The Nuanu Cultural Week programme features various cultural expressions, from Balinese kecak and gamelan performances to qasidah and hadrah. All activities will be held in various areas of Nuanu Creative City and involve art communities and the general public.

Ida Ayu Astari Prada, Brand and Communications Director of Nuanu Creative City, stated that the event is not only an entertainment venue but also a space for nurturing culture.

“As Balinese people, we see Bali not only as an open space to welcome, but also as a place with living culture that needs to be continuously presented, practised, and respected,” she said.

She added that the Nuanu Cultural Week places Balinese traditions at the core of the activities, while opening space for the public to experience Indonesia’s cultural diversity in an integrated manner.

In addition to performances, the Nuanu Social Fund will hold cultural competitions for students and young people from 26 to 28 March 2026. Several competitions include Megenjekan, Mejanggeran, Tari Baris, and Tari Condong.

According to Astari, the involvement of young people is an important part of maintaining cultural sustainability. “This programme opens space for traditions to continue living through practice, discipline, and community involvement,” she said.

The Nuanu Cultural Week is open to the public and is expected to become a meeting space for artists, local communities, and visitors from various backgrounds, while strengthening cultural exchange during the Eid moment.
