Melaka Festivals

Here are a sampling of events organized throughout the year in Melaka. Some are traditional events that have a long history and some are newer events organised by the government to stimulate tourism. As such, bear in mind, some are hits and some are misses.... Of course many events are geared towards the local population and as such the language used will be Bahasa Melayu but don't let that hold you back - GO! - you'll be surprised how warmly you are welcomed.
