Discover the Heart of Flores: Bajawa Culture Reba Festival Package with Pristine Tour
Bajawa Culture Reba Festival Package
Experience the ancient traditions of the Ngada people with our exclusive Bajawa Culture Reba Festival Package in Flores Island. Journey deep into the cultural soul of East Nusa Tenggara with Pristine Tour, your trusted local travel partner.
Step Into a Living Tradition with the Reba Festival
The Reba Festival is not just an event—it’s a centuries-old celebration of unity, ancestry, and cultural identity. Held annually in the highlands of Bajawa, the festival is the most important ceremonial event for the Ngada ethnic group. With our specially curated Bajawa Culture Reba Festival Package, you’ll have front-row access to this vibrant cultural performance, rarely seen by outsiders.
Celebrated between December and February, the Reba Festival marks a time of gratitude, family gathering, and ancestral homage. Villagers don traditional costumes, offer ritual prayers, and perform customary dances (such as the Seka), accompanied by the rhythmic beating of gongs and bamboo flutes. The highlight? The symbolic yam ceremony, a sacred offering to the ancestors, signifying prosperity and unity.
