International Kite Festival
The International Kite Festival is held at Tohpati north of Sanur, usually in August when there’s lots of wind but no rain. Kite enthusiasts from Germany, the U.S.A., and Japan take part, launching extraordinary kites of every shape and size: fantastic windsock kites, fighter kites, hexagonal kites, and fish kites.

Surfing Competition
With the opening of the first Bali Surfing Club International Pro-Am contest in 1980, Bali joined the international surting community. Once a year around July, the competition opens in true Balinese fashion with 40 local dancers. The event is attended by Bali’s governor and foreign ambassadors, while champion surfers from Hawaf, California, and Australia serve as judges. The contest is held at Uluwatu or Padang Padang on the Bukit Peninsula north of Kuta.

Bull Races
At Negara in Jembrana Regency, bull races are held between July and October. Trained bulls are dressed in silk banners, their homs painted, and big wooden bells placed amund their necks. Each team is judged by speed and style, and a lot of gambling takes place. Like Roman chariots the beasts and their drivers come thundering and kicking up mud all the way to the finish line. Jockeys whip and shout and twist the bulls’ tails to gain speed. This festival is staged to please the god of harvest, and the winning bulls are used for stud.
