“The wet season is honestly my favorite time to go to Bali!”

Bali, Indonesia

One of the biggest events of the winter is Nyepi, the Balinese equivalent to New Year’s Eve. Though it’s a festive celebration, it is also a time of introspection. A day of silence is celebrated and filled with fasting and meditation. You will never see the island so calm. The dates of Nyepi vary each year.

The Bali Spirit Festival, held yearly in March and April, is another reason to visit Bali in the spring. Unlike anything you have ever seen before, the Bali Spirit Festival is a global celebration of world music and well-being.

The dry season is the busiest and most popular time to go to Bali. In particular, May through September is the most popular time of year to visit. It is warm, and the humidity level is low all summer. The annual Bali Arts Festival is held in June and July, and it’s a must-see for any art lover. The parade is a true sight to behold, and art performances pack the calendar of the Denpasar Arts Center.

Another one of the most popular festivals of summer is the Bali Kite Festival. The iconic yearly event celebrates the traditional art of Balinese kite making. And these are no ordinary nylon kites! Ranging from profound to silly, the kites are a representation of the people of Bali.

Last but not least, is the most important festival of the year in Bali: Galungan! The entire island comes together every year for ten days to celebrate all the Balinese gods descending to earth.
