Lombok Tengah Weaving Festival

Sukarara Village, the heart of Sasak weaving, hosts a festival celebrating songket and tenun — handwoven textiles whose intricate motifs carry generations of meaning. Visitors can watch artisans work the traditional backstrap loom, try weaving themselves, and learn how each pattern reflects the identity and stories of the Sasak people. The festival supports local weavers and positions Central Lombok's craft heritage as a sustainable pillar of cultural tourism.
