George Town Festival 2018

The month-long George Town Festival was inaugurated in 2010, as a concerted effort to promote Arts and Heritage in Penang by the Penang State Government, Municipal Council of Penang Island, George Town World Heritage Incorporated and Penang Global Tourism.

Planned to be an annual event, George Town Festival is a feast of theater, music, dance, film, arts, food, fashion, photography, inspirational talks and visual spectacles on the streets. By bringing together different artistic communities based here and abroad – schools, amateur groups, cultural groups and professional performers – George Town Festival becomes the stage for local and international artistic exchange.
