ABSTRACT : The “Colossal Gambyong Dance” Festival is one of the festivals created to foster a sense of caring for an artistic heritage that leads to empowerment of the environment. The method used in this research is the community service research method, with the aim of taking action on cultural preservation, developing community MSMEs, embracing the younger generation to love art and develop creative ideas, and performing arts and cultural festivals. By using this method, this Festival can be realized without fear of intersecting with social changes in the community, because it still embraces the cultural values of the local community. The artistic concept of the Gambyong Colossal Dance Festival uses a performance concept that utilizes rice fields after harvest, bamboo and straw as an effort to utilize the environment and artistic value of the Festival. The result of this research is an arts and cultural festival that carries the theme of nature and the environment by presenting the “Colossal Gambyong Dance” Festival as a form of collaboration between artists, academics and the community.
