Dieng Culture Festival 2026

Java·3D2NFestival & Event
Why we love this

A once-a-year highland gathering where an ancient Hindu-temple plateau becomes a stage for living Javanese ritual.

The Dieng Culture Festival on the Dieng Plateau brings together highland rituals, the sacred dreadlock-cutting (ruwatan rambut gimbal) ceremony, jazz above the clouds, and lantern releases across the temple valley, across three days at the end of August.

Highlights

Kirab Budaya — a vibrant cultural procession celebrating the living heritage of the Dieng community
Ruwatan Rambut Gimbal — the sacred dreadlock-cutting ritual at the ancient Arjuna Temple Complex
Jazz Above the Clouds (Jazz Atas Awan) — intimate highland music under Dieng’s misty night sky
Lantern Celebration — thousands of lanterns carrying hopes and gratitude into the highlands
Dieng Coffee Festival & UMKM Exhibition — local highland flavours and craft
