The Centre Court is transformed into a lush garden that is distinctly Malaysian with cascading bougainvilleas, majestic palm trees, as well as other local tropical foliage and blooms.
Nestled within this idyllic setting stands a traditional ‘Rumah Kampung’ elevated on stilts, creating a focal point steeped in nostalgia. Serving as the perfect backdrop, the scene is adorned with traditional woven crafts, such as baskets, hand fans, and trays. These woven elements in vibrant hues take centre stage to showcase Malaysia's rich artistry and cultural heritage.
Here, shoppers can try their hands at traditional games like ‘Teng Teng’ (hopscotch), ‘Batu Seremban’, and ‘Congkak’ throughout the Hari Raya campaign. Shoppers can also capture cherished memories at the photobooth, where they receive both complimentary physical print-outs and e-copies. The festive atmosphere is further heightened on weekends with lively cultural performances.
In partnership with Kraftangan Malaysia, Suria KLCC will host activities such as Craft Demonstration and Craft Interactive sessions at the Centre Court, with local craft sales at Level 1, Ramlee Mall from 15 March to 7 April. Aligned with Suria KLCC’s enduring dedication to mental health awareness, shoppers who participate in the activities can purchase the Suria Ribbon Pin, priced at RM10 and receive an exclusive batik mask. Proceeds will be directed to support an NGO of choice.
Step outside at the Esplanade KLCC to witness a larger-than-life 60-ft Pelita. This installation, recognised in the Malaysia Book of Records in 2022 as the Biggest “Lampu Pelita” Replica in Malaysia, showcases colourful woven textures on its panels.

Also running from 15 March to 21 April, the Hari Raya celebration at Alamanda Putrajaya embraces the theme of colourful weavings set against a tropical garden backdrop. The Centre Court is transformed into a tropical haven, featuring a traditional ‘Rumah Kampung’ with vibrant woven elements on walls, windows, and roof. The scene, surrounded by oil lamps, is reminiscent of traditional villages of yesteryears. Shoppers can also engage in cultural activities, indulging in traditional games like ‘Batu Seremban’, giant-sized ‘Congkak’, and ‘Teng Teng’.
On weekends from 30 March to 7 April, there are arts and crafts activities in store for VIKids members, while shoppers can learn how to weave a ‘Ketupat’. Cultural performances are also held on these weekends at the Centre Court to ramp up the festivities.
