There are a lot of activities organized by HIMARIS inside and outside the campus. One of the events inside the campus is the Annual Festival. The Annual Festival is an English competition for high school students around Bandung which is annually held by HIMARIS. This festival aims at increasing high school students' interest in English language and in promoting the English Department of Politeknik Negeri Bandung to high school students.

Besides holding events inside the campus, HIMARIS also holds events outside the campus such as community services such as giving an English course to elementary students around the campus social charity such as breaking the fast together with the orphans at the orphanage near the campus in the Ramadhan month.
