Festival of People and Tribes in Bali, Indonesia is the second part of my photo series. I visited
Bali back in June 2011, I was fortunate enough to attend a massive local festival
which showcased the many different people and cultures of Indonesia in
one big event.
This
festival which was held at Lapangan Puputan in Badung, Denpasar was a spectacular event where you get to see almost all of the Indonesian cultures in one parade.
One thing that stands out in these pictures are all the amazing headdresses, costumes and details they put into each of the clans. Just examine the pictures and you will know that they are very serious about their culture.
Without hesitation, I give you the many
faces and tribes of Indonesia below. Please feel free to comment or ask me any
questions.

There you have it, various pictures of the different cultures found around Indonesia taken by me using my Nikon D60 with 55-300mm lens, no filters.
If you have missed my earlier series, you can see them from my first part of the
Festival of People and Tribes in Bali.
For those of you who are interested, this unique parade in Bali is held in the second week of June and in Denpasar. You should check with the Bali Tourism Board on the exact dates if you want to witness this amazing event.
I hope you have enjoyed all the pictures taken here, and I am currently making plans to visit future arts and culture festivals in Bali, Indonesia. I hope it happens sooner than expected too.
