Get ready for a patriotic weekend in the Klang Valley as Malaysia's 67th Merdeka celebrations look set to paint the town in vibrant red, white, blue, and yellow.

Art spaces and creative communities will mark the occasion with exhibitions, workshops, and sketch activities showcasing the nation's cultural diversity. The festivities will continue beyond Aug 31, leading up to Malaysia Day on September 16, another key moment in our history.
