Four days of Malay theatre, dance and music from across the Nusantara, at Esplanade from 8 to 11 April 2027.
Pesta Raya is a festival of Malay arts, and the 2027 edition takes over Esplanade for four days, from Thursday 8 April to Sunday 11 April. The programme spans theatre, dance and music from the Nusantara — the Malay Archipelago — with work drawn from the diversity of Malay culture. If you have only ever caught one strand of that, this is the week to see the rest of it.
It opens at 10am on the Thursday and runs through to 11pm on the Sunday, which leaves you a full day or a full evening depending on when you can get down. Everything happens at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay on Esplanade Drive, an easy one off the Circle Line.
