The story

Lakey Beach Festival in Dompu

The first edition of a July festival at Lakey Beach in Dompu Regency, Sumbawa, combining a record-setting Ou Balumba mass dance with a surfing tournament, fun run, and boat races, aimed at reviving the beach's former reputation as a world-class surf destination.

Lakey Beach in Dompu Regency, on Sumbawa island in West Nusa Tenggara, once carried a reputation as a world-class surf destination, and this festival's first-ever edition, an eight-day event in July, was explicitly framed by organizers as an effort to revive that standing.
