Bali is known for its rich culture and vibrant traditions, and the Ogoh-Ogoh Parade is one of its most mesmerizing events. If you’re visiting Canggu, don’t miss this once-a-year celebration at Hotel Tugu Bali on March 28, 2025, at 5 PM. This is your chance to witness the fiery and dramatic Ogoh-Ogoh Parade in Canggu Village from 7 PM to 11 PM, just before the island enters the sacred day of Nyepi (Balinese New Year).
What is Ogoh-Ogoh?
The Ogoh-Ogoh Parade is a spectacle of art, culture, and spirituality. It takes place on the eve of Nyepi and features massive, hand-crafted demon-like effigies (Ogoh-Ogoh), which represent negative spirits or evil forces. These towering, intricately designed figures are carried through the streets with traditional Balinese music, chanting, and dramatic performances. The event symbolizes the purification of the island, as the Balinese people drive away negative energy before embracing a day of silence and meditation on Nyepi.

What Happens After Ogoh-Ogoh?
After the parade, Bali enters Nyepi, a day of absolute silence, meditation, and reflection. The entire island—including businesses, roads, and even the airport—comes to a complete halt. Lights are turned off, and no travel is allowed. It is a time for self-reflection, making the Ogoh-Ogoh Parade the last big celebration before this peaceful day.
