The story

Tomini Bay Festival in Tomini Bay

A November festival at Kayubura Beach in Parigi Moutong Regency celebrating Tomini Bay, a Coral Triangle marine ecosystem spanning three Sulawesi provinces, combining maritime cultural performances with coral reef conservation education, each edition built around a rotating theme that keeps the paired focus on cultural celebration and marine conservation fresh.
