Check out the previous Sabah Fest which I attended in 2013 with the theme “Injin Puput“. 

It acts as a Thanksgiving Day for a bountiful harvest by the locals there with various cultural and traditional sports events such as slingshot competition, arm wrestling, and stilt-walking games. 

Visitors are welcome for a taste of this traditional festival as well as to enjoy and participate in the various competitions and activities at the KDCA in Penanpang district, 30 minutes out of KK city.

The Kaamatan Harvest Festival in Sabah is one of the perfect opportunities for visitors to experience the traditional hospitality and celebrations of the Sabahans. Highly recommended for cultural lovers. 

This charming and interesting little play was put together by a string of talented actors, with the hopes of celebrating the people of Kuala Lumpur and all of its charms.

The main highlight of the World Harvest Festival 2015 is the theme play which had received rave reviews from the media in the past. 

The popular ethnic beauty pageant lends colour and vibrancy to the event as it is one of the most highly-anticipated portions of the festival. Visitors are invited to attend this culturally-packed event at the 2015 World Harvest Festival.

Whether you are an avid water sports lover or just looking to catch a glimpse of the colourful designs of the dragon boats, you are invited to be a part of this legendary festival held here in Penang. 

Workshops, contests, exhibitions and classes on floral related topics will be held at this event along with the sale of plants and gardening equipment. 

Everyone is invited to experience this flower expo and also recommended that you take a walk through the beautiful Penang botanical garden for a date with nature. A must not miss event for any flower and garden lover. 

At this year’s KL Big Kitchen Festival, a wide variety of food trucks and stalls will line Merdeka Square, serving up all kinds of local, fusion and even gourmet selections. 

Visitors will have plenty to sample from as they explore the many lanes of the festival. The KL Big Kitchen Festival is truly a food lovers paradise and is highly recommended for just about anyone, including the travel foodies. 

This two-day exciting festival of Jazz music will be celebrated by the best performers’ line-up promising the festival to be a hit celebratory note by bringing back favourite performers from the past years from different countries to celebrate a decade of Jazz by the sea. 

It parades contemporary jazz with a twist of Malaysian flavour with added Latin rhythms. Jazz lovers are guaranteed a night of soul-filling, ear licking, head swaying, music. Jazz fans should not miss this opportunity at this years Borneo Jazz Festival 2015.

Among the popular ones, one of them is called ‘wau bulan‘ which is translated as “moon-kite and it is an intricately designed Malaysian kite (normally with floral motifs) traditionally flown by men in the Malaysian state of Kelantan. 

Get a taste of Kelantan culture as you participate in the many kite-making workshops, competitions, expos and many more. 

Again, for any visitors coming to Malaysia in the month of May, you have the opportunity to attend the many events and festivals throughout the country.

Some of them require prior arrangements for transport and accommodations. You can do so by booking them at a travel or tour agent before coming here for the Malaysia Year of Festivals.
