Travel events

Travel fairs, outdoor races and the festivals and holidays worth planning a trip around, mostly in Malaysia with a few regional favourites.

Pick a year

Each year has its own page, listed month by month from January to December. Use it to time a trip around a travel fair deal, a race or a festival, or to avoid the long holiday weekends when buses and rooms sell out. Dates come from official organisers and the Malaysian government holiday list, and were checked in October 2026. Always confirm on the official page before you book.
