This Raya season, MyTOWN Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur invites visitors to experience the warmth of heritage through its ‘Weaves of Gratitude’ Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration, bringing the spirit of togetherness, nostalgia and tradition to life.
Step into a recreated Kampung house, adorned with Kain Perca (patchwork) and intricate thread work – symbolic of the love and care woven into every home.
“This year’s patchwork theme brings back memories of our grandmothers, who lovingly stitched together pieces of fabric to create something meaningful.
“Through Weaves of Gratitude, we hope to rekindle those cherished traditions and create a space where everyone can come together, celebrate, and make lasting memories,” said Azhan Che Mat, general manager of MyTOWN Shopping Centre during the launch event on March 12, 2025.
The festive campaign marks the start of an exciting series filled with cultural performances, workshops and a celebration of togetherness and gratitude.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the rich cultural tapestry of Raya through vibrant performances and hands-on activities every weekend from 2.30pm onwards.
There will be traditional dances, kompang shows, and silat demonstrations, and children can explore their creativity in interactive workshops, including Raya spin kompang, DIY paper lantern crafting, doll painting and mini wau making.
Special highlights include scarf styling workshop, phone charm DIY, batik painting workshop and cultural performances by UCSI International and Sri UCSI Private School.
Adding to the festivities, MyTOWN introduced four new Tadaland characters – Hoola, Nico, Pierre, and Roro. Children can get closer to Hoola and Nico in exclusive meet-and-greet appearances every weekend at 5.30pm.
