The vibrant Pesta Kesenian Bali (PKB) festival is set to ignite Bali, showcasing the island's rich cultural heritage and boosting tourism. Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka expressed his admiration for the enthusiastic crowds gathering early at the Ardha Candra Open Stage for the PKB 2025.
This year's PKB, themed "Jagat Kerthi: Loka Hita Samadaya" (Harmony of the Universe), runs from June 21st to July 19th. It features 500 performances by 20,000 artists, promising a spectacular display of Balinese arts and culture.
The festival is a significant event on Bali's tourism calendar, attracting both domestic and international visitors. The Vice Minister of Tourism, Ni Luh Puspa, believes PKB will significantly contribute to Bali's tourism. The festival's economic impact last year reached Rp192.3 billion, with a 20% increase in hotel occupancy near the venue.
The PKB 2025 also provides a platform for artistic expression for people of all ages and encourages tourism opportunities in Bali. The early arrival of the audience is a testament to the popularity of the festival, with people eager to secure their seats for the performances.
