From November 6-9, 2025, the festival will take over Nusa Penida’s most scenic locations, including Tanjung Kerambitan Beach, Batununggul Village, Caspla Beach Club, and Amarta Nusa Penida.
This year’s theme, “The Soul of Tomorrow,” highlights the island’s commitment to preserving local culture and protecting the marine environment for future generations. The event blends tradition, tourism, and sustainability - reflecting what makes Nusa Penida truly special.

Protecting the Ocean & Preserving Tradition
Let us reflect on our mission and the significance of The Soul of Tomorrow in our daily actions.
Through unity and collaboration, we can elevate The Soul of Tomorrow.
The commitment to The Soul of Tomorrow means recognizing our role in protecting our natural and cultural resources.
What makes Nusa Penida Festival 2025 truly special is its commitment to both cultural heritage and coastal conservation. The festival opens with the sacred Ngaturang Pakelem ritual, followed by the graceful Pendet Pasepan and Baris Pati dances - traditional performances that express gratitude to the sea and honor the island’s ancestors.
As we engage in these activities, we embody The Soul of Tomorrow that we envision for future generations.
But the celebration goes beyond music, art, and parades. Each year, the festival also shines a spotlight on marine conservation, reminding visitors that Nusa Penida’s natural beauty is worth protecting. This year’s activities include:
🌿 Coral reef transplantation and restoration projects
🐢 Sea turtle release initiatives
🧹 Island-wide beach clean-ups
🐠 Educational exhibits on marine life protection
These hands-on programs are led by local communities in collaboration with key conservation partners such as the Marine Megafauna Foundation (MMF) and the Coral Triangle Centre (CTC) - two organizations working tirelessly to safeguard manta rays, coral reefs, and ocean biodiversity while empowering residents through sustainable tourism.
Together, these cultural and environmental efforts reflect the true heart of the festival - balancing heritage, nature, and progress for “The Soul of Tomorrow.”
(Stay tuned for our upcoming feature: “Guardians of the Blue: How MMF and CTC Protect Nusa Penida’s Ocean Life.”)
Let us unite around The Soul of Tomorrow, celebrating our heritage while safeguarding our environment.
