Towale Weaving Village

Towale Weaving Village is a traditional handicraft village located in Towale, Banawa Tengah, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi. It is known as the center of Donggala woven fabric (Tenun Donggala) made by Kaili artisans. Visitors can observe handloom weaving using traditional looms, see distinctive Kaili motifs and natural dyes, and purchase authentic textiles directly from weavers in a coastal village setting near Palu.

Visitors can expect a small coastal village with houses where local women weave on traditional back-strap and non-machine looms. You can watch the weaving process from spinning thread to finished sarongs and shawls, view displays of colorful fabrics with traditional Kaili patterns, interact with artisans, and purchase textiles. The setting is residential and workshop-based rather than a formal museum, with simple village roads and views toward the Makassar Strait.
