29 JULY - 28 AUG @ ALL
AROUND GEORGE TOWN,
PENANG A dazzling showcase of different varieties of orchids and bonsai
plants, held at the city’s beautiful lake gardens.
The George Town Festival is an annual international
arts festival that turns the streets of the UNESCO
World Heritage Site in George Town into a giant
canvas, inviting artistes from diverse fields like
theatre, dance, circus, puppetry and many more
to regale visitors in a month-long celebration. The
festival was inaugurated in 2010 to commemorate
the George Town area being awarded the tag of
UNESCO World Heritage Site. In its seventh edition
this year, the festival has no central theme, instead
offering a platform for all kinds of diverse art forms.
The primary focus of the festival, according to its
director Joe Sidek, is to promote arts among the
local and regional community and make culture
accessible to all. That is why tickets are kept
affordable and a large majority of the events are
free. Every year, GTF also funds community and
