Bali’s food scene is rich and varied, but the island’s size means you can’t enjoy its full range if you’re just staying for a few days. Time your trip for the Ubud Food Festival instead — so you can just stay in Ubud and watch the food scene come to you!
The Festival brings together local and international chefs and food personalities — with the aim of sharing Indonesia’s rich culinary culture with the world. Foodies can visit kitchen stage demos and attend talks presented by famous experts like Indonesia’s William Wongso and MasterChef ice cream maven Ben Ungermann, covering topics as diverse as Peranakan cuisine and slow food.
Non-professionals can buy passes to the event to try the Balinese and international dishes prepared for the Festival.
In 2019, the Ubud Food Festival takes place from April 26 to 28.

Imagine one whole month celebrating the best of Bali’s native heritage, linking it to modern means of expression. Traditional theater, morphing into modern performances. Culinary exhibitions of Balinese and Western-fusion food. And a whole gamut of art forms on display, from painting to documentary movies to shadow puppets to music.
Staged at the Taman Werdhi Budaya Arts Centre in Denpasar, the Bali Arts Festival takes advantage of the Centre’s outdoor pavilions, stages and auditorium spaces to create its art showcase. No two days show the same lineup: you’ll see something new and interesting on every day you visit!
In 2019, the Bali Arts Festival takes place between June 16 and July 14.
