At Eco Tourism Bali, our mission is to preserve the island’s natural beauty while celebrating its cultural heritage. We believe that tourism can be a force for good, and that’s why we actively support festivals that champion both sustainability and tradition. These eco-friendly events not only showcase Bali’s rich culture but also align with our vision for responsible tourism.
We invite you to explore four unique festivals that exemplify the harmony between culture and sustainability. By attending these events, you’ll not only experience the best of Bali but also contribute to the ongoing efforts to protect our environment.
1. Ubud Beyond and Festival
Ubud, the cultural epicenter of Bali, hosts the Ubud Beyond and Festival, a celebration that merges creativity with environmental awareness. The festival includes workshops on sustainable practices, eco-friendly crafts, and performances that emphasize the importance of preserving Bali’s natural resources.
At Eco Tourism Bali, we’re thrilled to support events like this, where art and sustainability converge. By participating in this festival, you can engage with our initiatives, such as reducing waste, supporting local eco-friendly businesses, and contributing to environmental efforts like mangrove planting and coral restoration.
2. Celuk Jewelry Festival
The Celuk Jewelry Festival is a shining example of how tradition and sustainability can coexist. Renowned for its silver and gold jewelry, Celuk village has embraced eco-friendly practices, showcasing pieces made from recycled materials and sustainable production methods during the festival.
Eco Tourism Bali partners with the Celuk Jewelry Festival to promote responsible consumerism through our Eco Climate Badge, which evaluates businesses on their environmental impact. By attending this festival, you’ll be supporting artisans committed to ethical practices and can even participate in workshops to create your own eco-friendly jewelry.
3. Bamboo (Ogoh Ogoh) Festival
Part of the larger Nyepi celebrations, the Bamboo (Ogoh Ogoh) Festival emphasizes the use of sustainable materials in the creation of traditional Ogoh Ogoh statues. This shift towards bamboo and other renewable resources is a powerful example of how Bali’s cultural traditions can evolve to embrace environmental stewardship.
Eco Tourism Bali supports this festival by promoting sustainable alternatives and encouraging the use of renewable materials in tourism and local practices. Visitors can join in workshops and activities that reflect our mission to foster a greener Bali.
4. Festival Indonesia Bertutur
The Festival Indonesia Bertutur is a celebration of Indonesia’s diverse cultural heritage, with a focus on storytelling, arts, and traditions. This festival highlights the rich narratives that make up the Indonesian archipelago, while also promoting sustainability through its eco-conscious practices.
At Eco Tourism Bali, we see this festival as an important platform for raising awareness about the importance of preserving both culture and the environment. The Festival Indonesia Bertutur provides an opportunity for visitors to engage with Indonesia’s cultural heritage in a way that is mindful of environmental impact, aligning perfectly with our mission to promote responsible tourism.
We also believe that tourism should have a positive impact on both the environment and the local community. These festivals are more than just celebrations—they are vital parts of Bali’s journey towards sustainability. By attending events like Ubud Beyond and Festival, Celuk Jewelry Festival, Bamboo (Ogoh Ogoh) Festival, and Festival Indonesia Bertutur, you’re not just experiencing Bali’s culture; you’re also contributing to our mission to protect the island’s natural resources.

We encourage you to participate in these events, support local businesses that prioritize sustainability, and join us in making Bali a model for responsible tourism.
Bali’s eco-friendly festivals are a testament to the island’s ability to blend cultural heritage with environmental consciousness. At Eco Tourism Bali, we are proud to support these events and promote sustainable tourism practices that benefit both locals and visitors.
