Costing an estimated US$100.000 and supported by 20 stakeholders, 13 hotels and 7 tourism operations - the festival will once again feature cultural performances, live musical performance, sporting events, contests and product exhibitions:
A wood carving and painting exhibition, kid’s carnival and a family day, a golf tournament, a cabaret show and country Western music on stage, and there will be various competitions in karaoke, drawing, fruit and vegetable carving, sand sculpture, traditional food eating and Balinese costumes.
This years theme of the fiesta is Green Tourism, following the United Nations Climate Change Conference at Nusa Dua in December 2007. Therefore the Nusa Dua Fiesta will also conduct a series of environmental awareness programs
