The Ogoh-Ogoh Parade in Bali is a lively and colourful celebration that marks the eve of the Balinese New Year, Nyepi. Held annually in villages across the island, this event showcases the rich spiritual and cultural traditions of Bali. Visitors can enjoy the procession of giant demon effigies, traditional music, dance performances, and ceremonial rituals. The parade symbolically drives away negative energies, while Nyepi, the following day, is a day of silence, reflection, and fasting observed across the island. Together, these events highlight Bali’s vibrant culture, artistry, and spiritual heritage.
