TEDxUbud

TEDxUbud is coming back for its eight edition this coming Saturday, with “movement” as its central theme this time around. It seems bound to be quite an interesting journey of storytelling, learning and change, among many other things – where topics vary from forced migration, impact of travel, to the motion of the earth under our feet. 

You can check out their full list of speakers and performers here. The event has actually sold out, but it seems you can still sign up for their waiting list and who knows? You might get lucky. 

Saturday, Oct 12 at Setia Darma House of Masks and Puppets from 3pm onwards. Standard tickets, for which you can join a waitlist, are priced at US$95 (IDR1.3million), excluding fees. 

 

Reverse Aperitivo at The Slow

The Dolphin and Scout from Sydney are taking over the full venue at The Slow this Saturday, promising a blend of Italian-inspired menu of aperitivo bites from The Dolphin and specialty drinks dreamt up by Scout Sydney. For this event, expect a twist on the traditional aperitivo. 

An Afternoon in Sydney is set to start at 7pm, but the night continues on from 9pm ‘till late with an after party led by sounds of Sydney DJ Kali (Picnic). Prepare yourselves for a night of good food, drinks and music in Canggu. 

Saturday, Oct 12 at The Slow from 7pm onwards. Book a table here

 

The Roads to Bali Roots Festival

Are you thinking of heading to Badung regency’s Pantai Pererenan this weekend? You’ll find that it’s the site of the Bali Roots Festival, which is set to take place on October 12 and 13, where you’ll get to watch music performances, shop in their market and munch on delicious food.
