What About Kuching - WAK Festival 2025


  • Kuching, Sarawak Malaysia (map)

WAK Festival (What About Kuching) is more than just an event - it’s a movement, a celebration, and a stage for the heart and soul of Sarawak’s creative community. Every October, the streets, stages, galleries, and open spaces of Kuching come alive with a vibrant mix of arts, culture, music, food, and adventure, all curated and driven by the passionate individuals and collectives that make this city unique.

Since its inception, WAK has championed the idea that creativity thrives when given the space and support to flourish. With a spirit of inclusivity and collaboration, the festival brings together artists, performers, storytellers, and visionaries from across Borneo and beyond, transforming Kuching into a living, breathing canvas of expression.

In 2025, WAK evolves into a multi-city experience, extending its reach with weekend satellite festivals in Sibu and Miri, while keeping Kuching as the beating heart of the festival throughout October. With countless events across diverse genres, WAK Festival continues to embody the spirit of “By the Community, For the Community.”
