The festival will be held from July 2nd to 4th this year. The location is in Arjuna Temple, Dieng Kulon Village, and Telaga Warna. All of those locations are still in the Dieng Plateau area. It is a nice area to organize a festival because Dieng is in its coldest right now. July and August are indeed the closest months in this highland.

There is one little problem concerning the lantern festival (festival lampion), though. However, the authority worries that the flying lantern would disturb the aviation and leaves a lot of plastic garbage. The Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, has advised the organizer to contact AirNav, Transportation Office, and also all concerning stakeholders.
