Start the festivities early with Macam Macam Berapit, a lively pre-festival event leading up to George Town Festival 2025! Held in the vibrant neighbourhood of Berapit, this colourful celebration brings together tradition, rhythm, and creativity through performances, workshops, and interactive art for all ages.

Experience the charm of “Jikey at Georgetown”, a two-day workshop that invites you to explore the world of traditional Malay theatre. Through storytelling, music, movement, and improvisation, participants will dive into this living heritage—culminating in a live showcase on the final night.

Feel the beat with “Colour of Sounds”, a dynamic Malaysian drum circle collective led by Haiqal Hermanshah Rahman. With deep roots in community building and education, their performances unite people through the universal language of rhythm and celebrate Malaysia’s rich musical diversity.

Step into the future with “Future Blender”, an interactive installation by Juliana and Andrey Vrady. Share your vision of tomorrow and watch it light up the walls in real time—then take a postcard or photo home as a memory of your imagination.

Finally, be amazed by Kanta Sasaki, a thrilling street performer from Japan. Known for his surreal limbo stunts, blazing fire tricks, and theatrical flair, Kanta’s show promises laughter, wonder, and heart-pounding excitement for audiences of all ages.

Whether you’re here to discover heritage, unleash creativity, or simply be inspired—Macam Macam Berapit is your first taste of the magic of George Town Festival 2025, right at your doorstep!
