Summary

Malaysia, one of the world's most desirable tourist destinations, continues to dazzle travellers by its sheer diversity and amazing, often spectacular festivals.

It is a country in which most of the great religions of the world meet and live in harmony. Behind the colour, music and reverence of every festival lies a wealth of deeply felt religious experiences, of which the festivals are an outward and fascinating expression.

Music, dance, trance, colour, ritual, history and community involvement are all part of what makes a festival attractive to both residents and tourists alike. When you add to that mix the diversity of its peoples, Festivals of Malaysia will take you on a festival journey like no other.
