5 Things to Prepare Before Attending Dieng Culture Festival 2022

Dieng Culture Festival 2022 is set to return on September 2 to 4, 2022. This event became one of the most anticipated events, where the traditional sacred procession of shaving the hair of Anak Rambut Gembel seemed to catch the attention of many attendees. In addition to the hair shaving event, there are plenty of other things to do, like seeing lantern flights, sipping coffee at the coffee festival, and solemnly enjoying the Jazz Atas Awan music event.

Are you interested in coming? To make the best out of the festival where you can enjoy the collaboration of customs, and traditional and contemporary art, make sure that you have prepared this trip better. Don’t forget to prepare these five things.

Anticipate these five things when attending the Dieng Culture Festival 2022

1. Secure your ticket!

The organizer has prepared around 3500 tickets for this event, somewhat fewer than the number of DCF tickets sold before the pandemic. There are several ticket packages, including one with lodging, then the one without lodging, only the camping ground, and then the ticket only. The lodging and camping ground packages are expected to run out, and only the key remains. Tickets are sold limitedly on the official DCF 2022 website.

2. Choose a comfortable transportation mode

The Dieng Plateau is located in the Banjarnegara Regency area and can be easily accessed through Wonosobo Regency. Dieng can only be reached by land transportation, with the road contours and conditions full of ups and downs yet winding. Ensure the vehicle you rent is in tip-top condition.

Consider renting a car or bus to avoid getting burned out during traveling. Since the road conditions are pretty narrow, if you go with a group, you better choose a small bus with a maximum capacity of 23 seats. Choose a trusted service provider with fleets that can accommodate your needs.

3. Check out the accommodation in and around the Dieng Culture Festival venue

If you’ve managed to secure a ticket with lodging or camping ground, you may not need to bother about this. However, if you only buy a ticket-only package, you should start hunting for a place earlier. If you use a car rental service with a driver, the distance between the inn and the event location is not that much of a problem. You can rest for a while traveling, and of course, you don't have to worry about finding a parking location because the driver can take you to the closest point to the venue.

4. Prepare comfortable and warm clothes

The entire series of events at the Dieng Culture Festival 2022 are held outdoors. The Dieng Plateau is famous for its cooler weather and tends to be quite chilly. So, don’t forget to wear thick clothes. Complete your outfit with a hat and scarf, especially when attending events in the afternoon and evening. You should stick to long-sleeved clothes for daytime events because the sun at a higher altitude can burn your skin.

5. Don’t miss out on important moments at the Dieng Culture Festival

Just like the previous years, Dieng Culture Festival 2022 is held at the Dieng Kulon Tourism Village with hotspots happening around the Arjuna Temple. You will be served with various shows and events in three days and two nights. So, don’t forget to save the event schedule to avoid missing out on fun moments at the festival.

In addition to the traditional hair-shaving procession of Anak Rambut Gembel as the main event, you can also attend the Jazz Atas Awan event. The event features several famous Indonesian musicians like Marcel, Deni Caknan, Budi Doremi, Andien, Souljah, Stars & Rabbit, and Cak Nun ~Kyai Kanjeng. Other events like ballet performances, coffee festivals, lantern flights, and Indonesian fashion shows in kebaya are also well-worth attending.
