It features world-class orchid showcases, immersive floral worlds, international orchid competitions and a vibrant plant and artisan marketplace.
The inaugural flower festival series sets the stage for a world-class celebration of botanical beauty, strengthening Malaysia’s position as a rising hub for orchid appreciation, botanical tourism and international horticultural exchange.
The event builds up to the Asia Pacific Orchid Conference (APOC) at Resorts World Awana from March 17 to 26, 2028, marking the first time APOC will be hosted by a private corporation.
At the heart of Bunga 2026 is an international orchid showcase and competition featuring exhibitors from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia and Brunei.
