What's On in Kuala Lumpur

March in Kuala Lumpur is shaped by Ramadan this year, bringing a different rhythm to the city and a unique mix of family-friendly experiences.

During Ramadan, days tend to feel calmer while evenings become livelier, especially around Ramadan bazaars, community programmes and cultural performances. Families can expect special seasonal events alongside the usual workshops, exhibitions and markets happening across the city.

As Hari Raya Aidilfitri approaches later in the month, many residents will travel back to their hometowns. Parts of the city may feel quieter, but there are still events and celebrations taking place locally, particularly in the days leading up to and during Raya.
