(1888PressRelease) June 09, 2010 - HolidayCity.com - Thousands of sun-seekers and art lovers would be converging on the beautiful island of Bali for the Bali Arts Festival from 12th June to 13th July 2010. For one whole month, visitors to the island would get the opportunity to enjoy daily dance and musical performances, handicraft exhibitions, traditional cultural shows, as well as modern and contemporary offerings from other countries. Higher occupancy for Bali hotels is expected throughout the festival period.

One of the highlights of the Bali Arts Festival is the opening parade on 12th June 2010 that would showcase various cultural groups from the local villages on the island, other provinces in Indonesia as well as international representatives. Visitors should try to catch the Balinese mime dance drama "Anggada Duta" by the Indonesian Art Institute Denpasar. Other performances scheduled during the first weekend include a classical dance by Pasemetonan Pragina Mas Taman Budaya Denpasar, flower arrangement and food competition, and an Innovative Choir by the Government of Gorontalo Province.
