Visitors can also savour a wide variety of mouth-watering food and snacks, shop for lifestyle and home essentials, and explore interactive exhibitions by cultural groups and government agencies.
Adding to the festivities are sporting tournaments, a spectacular New Year’s Eve countdown party, and live performances featuring a star-studded lineup of local artistes and celebrities including Tomok, Ella Aminuddin (Ratu Rock), XPDC Kita Peng Yu, Dato Awie, Ameng Spring, Zamani Slam, and many more.

This edition also marks the event’s final appearance at Tapak Pesta Sungai Nibong, as the site will be redeveloped for the Mutiara Line LRT project next year. According to the Penang tourism EXCO chair, Wong Hon Wai, the event will subsequently be put on hold possibly until 2031, as no alternative site is currently available.
