We are excited with the forthcoming 6th edition of “What About Kuching” (WAK) Festival 2024 that will have satellite mini-festivals to be held in Sibu next June and Miri in August. These two new venues will extend the cultural extravaganza to our creative communities in central and northern parts of Sarawak.
Thus, our creative communities throughout Sarawak are also invited to seize the opportunity by participating and submitting their proposals for this year’s WAK.
The staging of WAK will enable us come together to transform the month of October into a spectacular showcase of artistic innovation and cultural exchange. Since its inception in 2017 as a grassroots festival featuring 57 unique events and 48 collaborators, the annual WAK Festival had evolved into a significant cultural force, drawing an audience of 277,766 in 2023.
The WAK Festival has always been a community-driven month-long open access celebration of the arts, culture and lifestyle. Happening every October, our local folks had always look forward to the multi-genre programme is centred around Kuching with the celebration mood felt all over. It has the potential to become one of the world’s biggest arts and culture festivals much like the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland.
