Bali - Buleleng festival on august 23 2013

Buleleng Festival 2013 will display rare antique photos of the city that are currently stored in various museums in the Netherlands.

The annual festival, with the theme “My City, My Pride”, will be held on August 23.

The photos were taken during 1906 and portray the old Buleleng when it was the capital of the Bali and Nusa Tenggara region, during the Dutch colonial period. The coastal city was also an international trade hub for Bali and eastern Indonesia.

The festival will also showcase local talent in the art and business sectors.

The opening of the festival will be highlighted by communal dances performed by hundreds of local dancers overseen by local choreographers. Displays of the creative and innovative works of young Buleleng artists and entrepreneurs will also be presented.
