A permanent memorial was built on the site of the destroyed Paddy's Pub on Legian Street. (A new bar, named "Paddy's: Reloaded", was reopened further along Legian Street). The memorial is made of intricately carved stone, set with a large marble plaque, which bears the names and nationalities of each of those killed. It is flanked by the national flags of the victims. The monument is well-maintained and illuminated at night.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

The memorial was dedicated on 12 October 2004, the second anniversary of the attack. The dedication included a Balinese Hindu ceremony and the opportunity for mourners to lay flowers and other offerings. The Australian ambassador and Indonesian officials attended the ceremony.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

The Balinese mark their commitment in a nine-day-long event. After major cleansing ceremonies, establishing a memorial for the lost lives, and paying respect to those who left loved ones behind, the people of Kuta look forward to restoring Bali's image through an event named "Kuta Karnival&nbsp;— A Celebration of Life". The community event consists of traditional art performances such as Balinese Sunset Dances, sports on the beach as well as in the water for young and old plus rows and rows of culinary displays along the one kilometre of sandy beach.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

In line with the return of tourism to Kuta, Kuta Karnival has grown into a tourism promotional event with major coverage from television and newspapers from across the globe.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}} Companies, embassies, Non-Government Organizations, associations and even individuals come forth to get involved in the various events such as a Balinese dance competition presented by a surf-wear company, an environment exhibition presented by an embassy, a fun cycle presented by a group of individuals, a seminar presented by an association and a parade on the streets presented by an NGO. Tourists and locals alike, more than ninety thousand people, participate in the numerous events year after year.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

[[2005 Bali bombings|Further bombings in Bali in 2005]] did not reduce the Kuta community's determination to carry out this annual event.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}} Kuta Karnival is conducted to commemorate and give respect to the victims of human violence and show the world the true spirit of local community survival despite terrorism attacks.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

In Lincoln Square on the western side of [[Swanston Street]] in [[Carlton, Victoria|Carlton]], Melbourne, is a memorial representing the 88 Australians who died in the bombings, and notably the 22 from [[Victoria, Australia|Victoria]].

There are 88 jets in the fountain; at night, there are lights representing all those who died. The fountain shuts off and becomes a reflecting pool on 12 October each year.

This was one of the very few fountains allowed to operate during the drought in 2007.

After a long rehabilitation process, McCartney returned for a single AFL match: North Melbourne vs. [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] at [[Docklands Stadium]] in Melbourne on 6 June 2003. He wore compression garments and protective gloves as well as the numbers "88" and "202" on his jersey, signifying the Australian and total numbers of victims, while many in the crowd held up signs saying "Bali 88/202". Other Australian victims were honored in a video shown on the stadium's video screens before the game, with the attendees including [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]] players [[Steven Febey]] and [[Steven Armstrong]], who were both injured in the blast, and representatives from five [[Australian rules football]] clubs who lost players in the attacks were presented to the crowd.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Quayle |first1=Emma |title=Final act of hero's return |url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/06/06/1054700394324.html |access-date=3 November 2022 |work=The Age |date=7 June 2003}}</ref> McCartney helped North Melbourne to a narrow win before announcing his retirement at the end of the game,<ref name="North Melbourne YouTube" /> and his comeback has been cited as one of the AFL's most inspirational stories.<ref name="count">{{cite web|url=http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/count-to-10-and-play--20002009-20091227-lfxz.html|title=Count to 10 and play – 2000–2009|first=Martin|last=Boulton|date=27 December 2009|via=Brisbane Times}}</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2o1wss-Hk ''AFL: The Greatest'' – News Stories] YouTube (originally produced by Fox Footy)</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Twenty years at Docklands: The 20 most memorable moments and biggest stories (2020 AFL) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_AhETwWGRU |access-date=23 March 2025 |location=Docklands Stadium, Melbourne |date=8 March 2020 |type=Video |publisher=[[Australian Football League]] |via=[[YouTube]]}}</ref><ref>Australian Football League, [http://www.150years.com.au/150Moments/150MomentsArticle/tabid/11382/Default.aspx?newsId=55972# The Game That Made Australia] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130419120046/http://www.150years.com.au/150Moments/150MomentsArticle/tabid/11382/Default.aspx?newsId=55972 |date=19 April 2013 }}, Retrieved 19 September 2010</ref>

On the northern side of [[Coogee, New South Wales|Coogee Beach]] a memorial to the Bali bombing victims comprises three interlocking bronze shapes that have an abstract resemblance to three bowed figures supporting each other. There are also some [[:File:Bali grafitti.jpg|graffiti memorials]] in memory of the dead.

A memorial to seven residents of [[Sutherland Shire]] who were victims is at [[Cronulla, New South Wales|Cronulla]]. Called ''The Seed'', the work is based on the seed and foliage of the ''[[Banksia robur]]'', a native plant indigenous to the Shire. This sculpture of pink sandstone is the centrepiece of the memorial. It is set in a black granite pond located in 'Peryman Place' not far from [[North Cronulla Beach]], frequented by many of the seven victims and their families. <br />Two plaques are set into the granite surrounding the pond. The plaques carry the victims' photos, names, and ages; and also details of the event, the design's symbolism, its dedication, and a poem written by the families of the victims. The work is by sculptor Chris Bennetts and Ishi Buki Sandstone Sculpture.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sutherland.nsw.gov.au/SSC/home.nsf/Web+Pages/24D33FF65161B10DCA256DB30009800A?OpenDocument |title=Memorial for Shire victims of Bali bombings |access-date=30 November 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091029154418/http://www.sutherland.nsw.gov.au/SSC/home.nsf/Web%2BPages/24D33FF65161B10DCA256DB30009800A?OpenDocument |archive-date=29 October 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

On the fourth anniversary of the bombings the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall (now [[Charles III]] and [[Queen Camilla]]) unveiled a memorial in London, at the rear of the [[Foreign and Commonwealth Office]] Main Building, facing [[St. James's Park]].
