Here are some notable events that have taken place in Loyok Village and its surroundings, offering a glimpse into the vibrant cultural calendar of East Lombok:

East Lombok hosts a rich tapestry of festivals throughout the year, such as the Loyok Art Festival usually held in November, and the Festival Gerabah (pottery festival) in September, which celebrate local craftsmanship and creativity

In a more recent and deeply meaningful cultural revival, Loyok Village launched the inaugural Gawe Adat Inan Dowe ceremony in July 2024. This event showcases the traditional bamboo basket known as "Geben", a craft cherished as ancestral heritage. Locals paraded hundreds of “Geben” at a community gathering to emphasize its origins in Loyok and to inspire renewed pride and generational continuity in bamboo weaving

The success of the 2024 event caught the attention of the regional government. Plans are now underway to formally include Gawe Adat Inan Dowe in the Lombok Timur Tourism Event Calendar, ensuring it becomes an annual cultural highlight and a boost to local artisanal economy.

Beyond Loyok, East Lombok features other noteworthy cultural events year-round: the Alunan Budaya Desa Pringgasela (a cultural echoes festival) held around July, along with a wide array of traditional celebrations—from harvest rituals to kite festivals—ensuring there's always something to experience no matter when you visit
