Presented by KongsiKL, Klang River Festival (KRF) is an annual open festival that aims to bring local communities and stakeholders together to share knowledge and facilitate discourse on heritage, culture and identity.
Recognising the transient and ever-changing nature of the locales along the Klang River and its tributaries, the festival highlights the river’s importance as a source for transportation, fresh water, food, agriculture and religious rituals.
This unique festival’s activities comprise various art forms. These include visual arts exhibitions, dialogue sessions with town planners, researchers and developers, arts performances, workshops, creative installations, curated markets, heritage walks and film screenings.
The aim is to also invite the masses to discover (or rediscover) neighbourhoods and urban areas along the Klang River. “Tanah Air” is the theme of this year’s festival, which encapsulates the essence of homeland and motherland, while emphasising the significance of both land and water in our lives.
It’s time to mark down your calendars as the Klang River Festival 2023 is held on September 8-24.
