Bedog Arts Festival (BAF) was made in 2007 by M. Miroto,. This festival is held in a river environment as a creative space with its own uniqueness. As a social capital—local genius—this festival is a celebration of diversity in the realm of arts and culture while reweaving the cultural relationship between the community and the river. So far, the Bedog Arts Festival has succeeded in creating creative spaces, especially for young people, with local, national, and international cultural interactions that respect each other's cultural diversity.

A concrete step in developing elements of youth, arts and culture, economy, tourism, and society. The Bedog Arts Festival program includes dance artist residencies, international performing arts shows and arts and culture seminars. Bedog Arts Festival (BAF) is a “creative meeting room”, a meeting place for art creators, cultural observers, business people, the community, and stakeholders. The essence of creativity is basically the act of solving problems.
