A 3-day celebration across Chinatown’s cultural landmarks, featuring Malaysia’s homegrown artists and musicians, cultural experiences, creative workshops and talks, heritage walks, and more!
In celebration of Chinatown’s vibrant heritage and cultural significance, a group of community leaders and local partners are spearheading the first ever KL Chinatown Festival from 29 November to 1 December 2024, celebrating everything that makes this area so special. The festival stretches across the entire Chinatown, involving not only cultural and architectural landmarks such as REXKL, Kwai Chai Hong and Lorong Panggung, along with a range of local businesses, cafes, art spaces, and more. By bringing together these participants, the festival creates an immersive celebration of arts, culture, and community that embodies the spirit of Chinatown.
Building on the success of REXKL’s 5th anniversary celebrations and mini-festival REXFEST in 2023, the KL Chinatown Festival has expanded in both scale and ambition. This 3-day cultural takeover combines old-world charm with modern creativity, featuring diverse music and cultural performances, art installations, and cultural experiences anchored in the theme “Together Gather”
This year, Connor’s Stout Porter takes centre stage in the festival’s music pillar, supporting local musical talents with performances that showcase the fusion of traditional and modern influences that define Chinatown’s cultural landscape. Throughout the festival, festival-goers can enjoy exciting music performances, including collaborations with local talents, bringing together diverse musical influences and celebrating Malaysia’s creative spirit.
