#JOM: Citrawarna Speed Festival celebrates all things Malaysian

THE Citrawarna Speed Festival 2026 kicked off on Sept 23, presenting a unique fusion of Malaysia's rich cultural arts and the thrill of motorsport. Running until Oct 4, it is centred across three main locations: IOI City Mall

Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1, and Sama-Sama Hotel KLIA.

Following the success of Citrawarna 2026 at Dataran Merdeka last July, this edition introduces a new, dynamic, and interactive expression of Citrawarna.

This event is made possible through the strong support of various strategic partners, including AMD, ASUS, Sama-Sama Hotel, HP, Intel, IOI City Mall, IOI Properties, Istana Budaya and the National Department for Culture and Arts (JKKN), Kraftangan Malaysia and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB).

The festival at IOI City Mall Putrajaya is organised across four main zones.

Zone A (Colours of Speed - Lower Ground, East Court), is an interactive space bringing the thrill of motorsport to life through a simulator competition, offering visitors the chance to test their skills and win attractive prizes.

Zone B (Info Booths - GFEC), is a one-stop centre for tourism and cultural information featuring booths from Tourism Malaysia, Tourism Selangor, and the Sepang Municipal Council.

Zone C (Colours of Art and Culture - Symphony East), features 14 interactive stations showcasing traditional arts, crafts, and live cultural performances.

Zone D (Colours of Parade - Premiere B), meanwhile, completes the atmosphere with cultural performances, virtual reality (VR) elements, and meet-and-greet sessions with the festival mascots, Wira and Manja.

The festival's highlight, Colours of Parade, will take place at IOI City Mall Putrajaya on Oct 3.

The parade will gather 1,500 cultural dancers and performers along the route. Through traditional music, dance, vibrant costumes, and cultural expressions, this parade will showcase the diversity and unity of Malaysia in a spectacular celebration of the nation's heritage.

The excitement will be further amplified on Oct 4 with a closing event featuring a Lamborghini activation, assembling approximately 100 high-performance supercars.

Citrawarna Speed Festival 2026 opens a new dimension in promoting Malaysia in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia 2026-2027 campaign.

It not only offers visitors a fresh cultural experience but also drives the growth of the local economic chain - specifically the tourism, retail, hospitality, and creative industries.
