One thing we’ve been loving lately is finding more local events around Bali 👀✨
Today we stopped by the Denpasar City Expo on its final day and it was such a cool mix of local businesses, handmade products, crafts, creative industries, food stalls and small brands from around Bali 🤍
The whole idea behind the expo is supporting local creators, small businesses and the creative economy in Denpasar, which honestly made it feel really special to walk around
Definitely one of those events that feels much more local than touristy 👌
If you’re in Bali and looking to experience something outside the usual beach clubs and tourist spots… events like this are such a fun way to see another side of the island 🌴✨
