About this experience

Artisan Markets in Denpasar is a rotating collective of Balinese craftspeople and food producers held in the city centre of Denpasar, Bali. The market operates on select weekends, typically from 8am to 2pm, within the grounds of the Bajra Sandhi Monument. It features handwoven textiles, silver jewellery, wood carvings, and freshly prepared local snacks.

What to expect

Stalls are arranged by craft type, with 40 to 60 vendors per event, each displaying original work and production methods.
Visitors can watch live demonstrations of batik dyeing, coconut-shell carving, and palm-leaf weaving during the first two hours of the market.
A dedicated food lane offers six to eight Balinese dishes, including lawar ayam, sate lilit, and jaja laklak, priced between 10,000 and 25,000 IDR per portion.
Each market day includes a 30-minute traditional gamelan performance at 11am, staged near the central fountain.
The event suits independent travellers and local shoppers seeking direct purchases from makers, with cash and QRIS payment accepted at all stalls.
Entry is free, and the market is fully outdoors under shaded tarpaulins, with seating areas and a water refill station provided.
