Data was collected by observation techniques, documentation studies, and in-depth interviews with selected informants including art performers, Wayang Wong millennial spectators, and observers of Balinese culture. Qualitative descriptive analysis was conducted by applying symbol theory and practice theory. The results showed that: (1) Tri Hita Karana was used as the foundation for the development of Wayang Wong for millennials because Tri Hita Karana is a concept of happiness in Bali; (2) The philosophy and values of Tri Hita Karana are implemented in the millennial form of Wayang Wong which reflects the harmony of human relations with God (parahyangan), human relations with humans (pawongan), and human relations with nature (palemahan); (3) The application of the Tri Hita Karana concept in the development of Wayang Wong in millennials can save the sustainability of Wayang Wong performing arts in Bali. This is because it is able to arouse millennial tastes to inherit the Wayang Wong performance art and be able to strengthen the cultural identity of the Balinese Hindu people.
