Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park (GWK) in Badung Regency, Bali, is once again preparing to welcome New Year’s Eve with a spectacular celebration. GWK management ensures that they will present a colossal fireworks display with a new formation to usher visitors into the New Year 2026.
The iconic fireworks display, which is always set against the backdrop of the 121 meter high Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue, will be the main highlight. This year, the Operational Director of the GWK Cultural Park, Ch. Rossie Andriani, revealed that there had been an improvement in visual presentation.
“The fireworks come in formations from three locations, which will provide a wider visual experience for visitors,” said Rossie, quoted on Wednesday (10/12)
Festive Concert and Wellbeing Focus
New Year’s Eve celebrations at GWK are not only enlivened by sparkling fireworks. The main stage will be filled with top Indonesian musicians who are ready to entertain thousands of spectators. The three big names who have been confirmed to appear are Navicula, Maliq and D’Essentials, and Lolot.
Apart from musical performances, this year GWK management also placed special focus on aspects of community welfare and community support. During this celebration, GWK will provide:
- MSME Outlet: Provides space for micro, small and medium businesses to showcase their products.
- Disability Space: Provides special areas and facilities for the disabled community.
- Mental Health Counseling: In collaboration with RSU Bali Jimbaran, the management provides free mental health counseling services for visitors during the event.
This step shows GWK’s commitment to making the New Year celebration an inclusive and supportive moment. Rossie hopes that the spirit of this celebration can be transmitted to every visitor.
“Our hope is that all visitors can enter 2026 with enthusiasm, hope, and an effective experience,” concluded Rossie.
Anticipate an Increase in Visitors
As one of the biggest tourist icons in Bali, the GWK Cultural Park, located in Ungasan Village, Badung Regency, has always been a magnet for visitors, especially during long holidays.
On normal days, the average number of visitors to GWK is around 3,500 people per day. However, the management of this tourist attraction anticipates a drastic increase.
During the long holiday period, including before New Year, the number of visitors is estimated to increase two to three times the daily average.
This increase confirms GWK’s position as the main destination chosen by domestic and foreign tourists to enjoy the New Year moment on the Island of the Gods. (Ant/Z-1)
