The soft launch was attended by Mr. Faizal bin Mahmod Director, Department of Culture, Arts, Tourism and Sports, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL); Ms. Jessie Tan, Managing Director of Qube Integrated Malaysia; Datuk Zulkifli Ishak, Chairman of Yayasan Amanah Industri Kreatif Kebangsaan (YAIKK); Encik Khairil Faizal Hj.

Highlights of the three-day festival include a Pet Bazaar and a petting zoo with close to 20 kinds of animals, music workshops and performances by young Malaysian talent, fun activities with Kuala Lumpur Tower, children’s workshops, and year-end shopping deals. The festival is expected to welcome thousands of visitors.

“Every year-end, Malaysian families face the same question: where do we go during the school holidays? Parents want a fun and meaningful day out that is affordable for the whole family. Riang Ria Fest is our answer: a place where families and the public can play, learn, shop and celebrate together,” said Ms Jessie Tan, Managing Director of Qube Integrated Malaysia.

“After many years of organising trade and business exhibitions and conferences, Riang Ria is Qube’s first festival built for families and the public, and we have put our hearts into it. All Got Lah! sums it up. We hope everyone, whatever their interest, finds something to enjoy, at a price families can afford,” she said.

Ms. Tan added that the festival is also designed to support domestic tourism and the local economy. “Kuala Lumpur welcomed more than 23 million visitors last year, and year-end is when many families plan their holidays. We hope Riang Ria gives families from the Klang Valley and other states one more reason to visit and enjoy Kuala Lumpur, and in doing so, support our hotels, eateries, transport operators and local businesses,” she said.

“Riang Ria is also about community. We have reached out to residential communities across the Klang Valley. We are also proud to support MITEC’s Gift of Joy CSR initiative, which invites the public to donate new or pre-loved toys for children from selected children’s homes. These children will join us at the festival in December. 

“More partners, exhibitors and activities will be announced in the coming weeks. This is just the beginning. Riang Ria Fest will return every year, and with the support of our partners and the community, we are confident it will grow into a must-visit year-end festival,” she said.
