Bali festival calendar 2026–2027
Bali’s festivals run on two clocks. Holy days such as Galungan and Nyepi follow the Balinese calendars and move every year; Nyepi 2027 falls on Monday 8 March. Arts, music and food festivals keep a season but announce their days late.
Every date below links to its source. Confirmed means the organiser or the government has published the day; expected means only the month is known so far.
