Kuala Lumpur Events

Colours of Malaysia

Malaysia is extremely proud of its cultural diversity, which is showcased in Kuala Lumpur each year with one of the world's most colourful extravaganzas, Citrawarna, or 'The Colours of Malaysia'. This month-long cultural celebration is packed with a kaleidoscope of events, the highlight being a grand parade involving thousands of people escorting a float bearing the Royal family. The event also marks the King's birthday. The spectacular procession is a moving mosaic of rhythm and dance. Throughout the month there are numerous offerings including art and craft exhibits, sumptuous cuisine at food festivals, resplendently costumed music and dance performances and sports meetings.
