State-run Tourism Institute (STP) Nusa Dua Bali is set to hold the Beach Food Euphoria festival at Kedonganan Beach, Badung, on July 21-22.

“The festival was initiated by our event and convention management students as part of the institute’s goal to have them participate in promoting the Kedonganan culinary area and develop the region’s natural resources and culture,” said STP Nusa Dua Bali head Dewa Gede Ngurah Byomantara.

“There’ll be a tukik [baby turtle] release ceremony as part of locals’ awareness of environmental sustainability,” he added.

The festival will also feature a food competition, flair bartending, fruit carving, LED water drum, games and dance and music performances. 

Eateries in the area will also offer 30 percent discounts on food.

The institution has hosted many events in the past, such as the J.KO (Japan Korean) Fiesta, the Folk Market, the STP Job Fair, the Zombie Run and seminars.
