This is the peak season for tourists, as the festival is held annually offering a variety of art and cultural performances. Apart from Dieng Film Festival as well as jazz performances that are known as Jazz Above the Clouds (referring to Dieng’s nickname as the country above the clouds), ruwatan anak gimbal tops all the festival.
Ruwatan anak gimbal is a special ritual ceremony for the local kids with dreadlocks. Spiritually, the locals believe that they require certain rituals to keep them safe. And that is through cutting their dreadlocks.
