The Bali Arts Festival (Pesta Kesenian Bali or PKB) returns in June 15 until July 13 2024 with the theme "Jana Kerthi," which means "Glorifying the Ocean." This theme aims to elevate and preserve the values of the nation's cultural heritage through various forms of art and tradition. This event is not only a showcase of artistic performances but also a tangible effort to honor and sustain ancestral heritage.

"Jana Kerthi" is derived from Sanskrit, where "Jana" means human and "Kerthi" means sanctity or glory. Thus, "Jana Kerthi" can be interpreted as the glory of humanity. This theme was chosen to emphasize the importance of maintaining human values and harmony between people and nature, as well as among themselves.
