Event Dieng Culture Festival, merupakan festival budaya dengan konsep sinergi antara unsur budaya masyarakat, potensi wisata alam Dieng, serta pemberdayaan masyarakat lokal agar dapat memaksimalkan potensi yang dimiliki. Sejarah Dieng Culture Festival dimulai dari gagasan Kelompok Sadar Wisata Dieng Pandawa yang berupaya menggabungkan konsep budaya dengan wahana wisata alam, dengan misi pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat Dieng. Dieng Culture Festival pertama kali diselenggarakan pada tahun 2010 atas kerjasama dari Equator Sinergi Indonesia, Pokdarwis Dieng Pandawa, dan Dieng Ecotourism. Dieng Culture Festival ini dapat dikatakan sebagai festival paling terkenal di Provinsi Jawa Tengah bahkan se-Indonesia. Festival seni dan kebudayaan ini selalu menarik perhatian puluhan ribu orang untuk datang ke Dataran Tinggi Dieng. Ribuan orang bernyanyi bersama di momen Jazz di Atas Awan dan berkhidmat menyaksikan ritual cukur ruwat rambut gimbal.
