EVENTS

Penangites celebrate a vibrant calendar of festivals all year round, spanning religious, cultural and contemporary arts events nearly every month. Visitors can witness acrobatic lion dances during Chinese New Year, the intricate weaving of ketupat (rice dumplings) during Hari Raya Aidilfitri, the awe-inspiring body piercings borne by devotees during the Hindu festival of Thaipusam and the remarkable feats of balance showcased during the Penang Chingay Parade. Beyond these deep-rooted traditions, home-grown arts festivals continue to draw global audiences, led by the highly anticipated George Town Festival and the internationally acclaimed George Town Literary Festival. Other landmark annual happenings not to be missed include the George Town Heritage Celebrations, the historic Feast of St. Anne in Bukit Mertajam, as well as major events like the Penang International Food Festival, the Penang International Dragon Boat Festival and the world-class Penang Bridge International Marathon.

The Fam Weekend

  • 21 Nov 2026 - 22 Nov 2026

The Fam Weekend is our way of saying thank you to everyone who’s been part of the Spice Fam journey (Spice Gardens members) and 'Hello!' to those just finding their way here. We’re celebrating the community - one that’s rooted in nature, curiosity, and connection. Across these two days, we invite you to explore the workshops, experiences, shared meals, quiet corners, and encounters that remind us how precious it is to be outdoors, and to connect with others. Whether you come for the exploration, the expression, or the stillness, this weekend is for everyone!
