Craving for a Unique Year-End Experience in Bali? This is Nuanu’s Ultimate December 2025 Calendar 

While southern Bali gears up for its lively festive crowds, a different kind of celebration is taking shape on the island’s south west coastline. In Tabanan, Nuanu Creative City introduces a fresh entry to Bali’s festive calendar - a month-long lineup of markets, culinary pop-ups, creative gatherings, and year-end festivals unfolding throughout December. Instead of centering the season around a single Christmas or New Year’s moment, Nuanu turns the entire month into a series of experiences: varied, dynamic, and full of things to discover. Here, the holidays aren’t just a moment - they’re a journey, with events that evolve as the season moves forward.

If you’re looking for a festive escape that’s vibrant, varied, and anything but predictable, here’s why Nuanu deserves a place on your holiday map:

1. ProEd Global School Christmas Market (12 December)

Nuanu’s festive season officially opens with the ProEd Global School Christmas Market, a warm, family-friendly celebration held on 12 December at the Nuanu Campus. The afternoon features sparkling Christmas tree lighting, live music, Christmas bazaar, festive activities for kids, coloring competition, lucky draw prizes, and plenty of holiday treats. Open to the community and free to attend, it sets the tone for a month filled with creativity, togetherness, and seasonal joy.

2. The Christmas Market (19–30 December)

From 19–30 December, Nuanu transforms into a vibrant and heartwarming Christmas Market. Local artisans arrive with handmade goods, paired with seasonal bites that bring the warmth of the year-end holidays. The atmosphere grows even more vibrant with family-friendly activities that invite visitors to slow down, explore, and enjoy every corner. Nuanu’s Christmas Market offers an experience that’s creative, intimate, and inviting—a place to wander through local crafts, savor festive flavors, and embrace a Christmas season that feels different from Bali’s usual holiday rhythm.

3. Ruang Rasa: Culinary Festival Curated by Food Coma (26–28 December)

Good food anchors every celebration, and Ruang Rasa, running 26–28 December, brings the island’s culinary pulse directly into Nuanu. Curated by Food Coma, the festival gathers 30 of Bali’s rising food creatives - from modern comfort dishes to inventive local flavors - in one vibrant, open-air setting. This isn’t just a food festival. The festival is designed as a journey that engages all five senses: tasting unique dishes, smelling rich aromas, feeling textures, watching performances, and listening to sounds that shape the atmosphere. Visitors can explore Bali’s culinary creativity while enjoying a series of performances and sensory-driven activities throughout the event.

Ruang Rasa becomes a welcoming, family-friendly gathering space—an inviting destination for anyone looking to savor good food while celebrating Bali’s creativity in its most lively and multisensory form.

4. Samana (29 - 30 December)

Closing the year with joy, creativity, and connection, Samana brings Bali’s biggest family festival experience into a more intimate two-day edition at Nuanu on 29 - 30 December. Samana becomes a colorful playground where families can explore freely, kids can dive into hands-on creativity, and the community gathers in a warm, playful atmosphere. It’s the kind of year-end experience that feels festive, communal, and unmistakably joyful - a perfect lead-up to Nuanu’s New Year’s celebration.

5. PORTAL: A New Year’s Celebration That’s Vibrant, Artistic, and Meaningful (31 December)

Nuanu closes the year with PORTAL -  an alternative New Year’s Eve experience that blends music, visuals, and movement into a more intentional celebration. Rather than the usual rush for euphoria, PORTAL creates a meeting point for local talents - from Indonesian EDM musicians to visual artists and movement performers - shaping a night that’s festive yet resonant. Here, the countdown isn’t the sole highlight. PORTAL becomes a moment to look back on the year, imagine what comes next, and gather in a cultural momentum shared by artists and audiences - bound by curiosity, continuity, and collective energy.

A Creative Hub for the Holidays

A place where life is celebrated and creativity thrives, Nuanu offers a festive season filled with markets, music, food, and family-friendly events — all while giving back, with 5% of every program supporting social causes.

This December, whether you’re exploring the Christmas Market, tasting new flavors at Ruang Rasa, joining Samana, or stepping into PORTAL on New Year’s Eve, you’re entering a creative hub that redefines the holiday rhythm in Bali.
