The fasting month is almost over, so we all know what that means — Hari Raya Aidilfitri is about to be upon us! As one of the biggest annual celebrations of the year in Malaysia, particularly for Malay Muslims, it makes sense that the preparations for the holiday make for a long, long list. So we won’t judge you if you haven’t completed all of your Hari Raya shopping yet, but don’t you think you’re cutting it a little too close? This upcoming weekend is the eleventh hour, so you better hurry up and complete your shopping!
For all the Johor Bahru peeps, you’re in luck because starting today, Riuh Raya is officially in town! RIUH is a curated platform that brings together retail stores, food vendors, creative workshops, showcases, and even live performances all in one space. From the 5th until 7th of April 2024, Riuh Raya Johor Bahru will be held at the parking lot in front of the Johor Bahru Post Office. Here are all the things you, your friends, and your family members can look forward to at Tambak RIUH Beraya, operating from 3PM to 11PM.
