Sharing borders with Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei and with a diverse heritage including a long period of British colonial rule and an economically strong Chinese community, Malaysia<\/a> is one of the most multicultural countries in Southeast Asia. The vibrant cultural diversity and religious tolerance is reflected in the range of festivals in Malaysia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embraced by the community as a whole, and celebrated nation-wide, it comes with little surprise that many celebrations in Malaysia revolve around these rich customs and traditions. As you adventurously amble your way through this beautiful country, it\u2019s definitely worth adding a handful of these bright, vibrant Malaysian festivals and celebrations to your itinerary. Here are some of our favourites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important to note:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many Western celebrations, most Malaysian festivals and celebrations don\u2019t have a fixed date. This is because they are based on the lunar or Islamic calendar. If you\u2019re planning travels to coincide with different celebrations in Malaysia, we\u2019d advise checking local Malaysian calendars for exact dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
