Top List on Where to Watch Ogoh Ogoh Parade

The Ogoh Ogoh Parade is one of the most significant and exciting events during Balinese New Year celebration, which is also known as the Day of Silence. The festival usually takes place a day before the day of silence. The Ogoh Ogoh Parade is a colorful and vibrant spectacle that should not be missed if you're visiting Bali during this time.  In this article, we'll take a look at where to watch the Ogoh Ogoh Parade in Bali this year.

The parade typically takes place in the evening, starting at around 7 pm, and lasts for several hours. The best places to watch the parade are in the major towns and cities in Bali, where the biggest and most elaborate statues are created. Here are some of the best places to watch the Ogoh Ogoh Parade in Bali this year:

Our resort: Bali Dynasty Resort's Ogoh Ogoh Parade is a unique experience that takes guests on a journey through the resort's lush gardens, past the main pool, and finally to the beach. The parade starts at the front pond at 6PM, with guests gathering around to watch the procession. The parade is led by the resort's recreation team, who carry traditional Balinese instruments, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Guests are welcome to participate in the parade. Stand by for an unforgettable evening!

Denpasar: The capital city of Bali is one of the best places to watch the Ogoh Ogoh Parade. The city's major streets are closed to traffic, and the parade route is lined with food stalls and vendors selling souvenirs. Patang Catur Muka in Denpasar is a roundabout intersection near the Lapangan Puputan Badung park, the Bali Museum, and the main markets. This intersection is like the grandstand for the parade and the best place to watch the event and be a part of the energy. This is an authentic local's event, it's not put on for tourists. In fact out of the thousands of people crowded around that intersection.

Ubud: Ubud is a cultural center of Bali and is home to many art galleries and museums. The parade in Ubud is particularly impressive, with dozens of statues being carried through the streets. In Ubud, the best place to watch Ogoh Ogoh parade is in Peliatan Royal Palace. There is always a huge attraction and gathering around this area.

Kuta: Kuta is one of Bali's busiest tourist destinations, and the parade here is typically quite lively. The beachside location and the bustling crowds make it a fun place to watch the parade. Come to Kuta beach before 6pm to get best spot to stand.

Sanur: Sanur is a quieter town in Bali, but the Ogoh Ogoh Parade here is still a must-see event. The parade route winds through the town's narrow streets, creating an intimate and atmospheric experience.

Jimbaran: Jimbaran is famous for its seafood restaurants, but during Nyepi Day, it's also a great place to watch the parade. The parade route here follows the main road along the beach, offering stunning views of the sunset.

No matter where you choose to watch the Ogoh Ogoh Parade in Bali this year, you're sure to be treated to a spectacular display of color and culture. Just be sure to arrive early before 6 pm to secure a good spot, and don't forget to bring your camera to capture the magic of this unique Balinese tradition.

Cultural Events

Omed Omedan

Omed-omedan, also known as the kissing ritual, is a unique celebration that takes place in Sesetan Village, Denpasar. It is held on the day following Nyepi, the silent day, to welcome the Saka new year.

During this celebration, unmarried men and women between the ages of 17 and 30 gather on the main street of Sesetan. Divided into two groups by gender, they face each other and await a signal.

Once given, both groups approach the center of the street where male participants will pull and kiss the female participants, sometimes forcefully, while villagers in the audience pour buckets of water over them. The celebration is said to be a tribute to fertility.

Guest Feedback

The Dynasty is the best resort I have ever stayed in. I cannot fault anything about the place! There’s stuff for everyone to do and everywhere you go you feel like you’re at home. There is nothing to fault at all. The staff are exceptional, the food is amazing, and the place is spotless. Every staff member is extremely helpful and polite and they will do anything to make sure that you’re stay is amazing. I have been to other resorts but nothing will ever compare. It’s a home away from home that welcomes everyone with open arms. Once you go, you’ll never want to go anywhere else. Scenic643232

We have had the absolute best stay at Bali Dynasty. This was mine and our children’s first trip to Bali (my husbands 6th time) and we have loved our experience at this resort. All of the staff are so friendly, accomodating, helpful. We cannot say enough good things. We haven’t quite checked out yet and we’ve already booked for next year to come back. This resort has everything you need, you really don’t need to leave. The buffet breakfast was yum every morning, our girls loved the kids club and the kids waterpark and pool. we had room service and we ate at the h2o restaurant a few times and the food was always delicious. The on site spa was next level amazing, and the pool side massages!! None of the workers ever appear unhappy, always smiling, doing anything they can to make your stay better. they’re obviously really well cared for by management which is always nice to see. We couldn’t love this hotel more and completely recommend for families. Our girls (4 and 6) loved the ‘dance pool party’ music of the afternoon/evening and made so many little friends at the pool everyday! Plus the on site hair salon for signature Bali braids was so convenient. Lauren Ella

Jetstar cancelled our flight to Sydney so put us up in dynasty hotel for the night. The staff were incredible, friendly and went out of their way to accomodate us during the ordeal. I could not praise them enough for how professional they were. Amenities are great and the hotel is close to the beach/restaurant. Thank you to the staff and hotel for making our setback a comfortable experience. Charlie Day

Very suitable for family holiday. Lots of activities for kids, the swimming pool also hv a mini Waterpark. The breakfast also good, always served the fresh one. The room is not too big, but it's enough for my lil family. Surrounding with lots of cafe, restaurant, mall and very close from airport. Aldo Rusman

100% Recommend. Don’t think just book. I went back and forth my stay was pleasant. Employees are nice, good food, very close to Kuta market. Kiran

The staff are super friendly, & The kids club is awesome and the staff in the kids club were so patient and kind and my kids loved them. I’ll definitely be back. Virginia

Great value for money. Staff helpful and friendly. A/C fantastic, rooms clean. Food tasty. Spa very good. Most cocktails have pineapple juice which gets a bit much after a while, otherwise can’t complain about anything. Cynthia
