Malaysia is blessed with diverse ethnicities, cultures, and traditions. With each culture comes their own festivals, and with each festival comes the public holidays — some celebrated nationwide, while some only in selected states.

The good news is, everyone, including foreign visitors, gets to join in these festivities as we take to the streets in colorful parades or open our houses to friends and family for communal feasts. 

The bad news is, many locals will also take the opportunity to travel to their hometowns, thus causing MAJOR road congestions, a spike in flight and hotel prices and a shortage of bus / train tickets.

I hope this calendar will help you plan your travel wisely. Please note that certain dates may be subject to change. Stay informed and connected by checking back regularly for any updates.
