Klang River Festival 2025: Where Ecology Meets Public Imagination
Let’s be honest — Klang isn’t usually the first place that comes to mind when you think “creative city.” But something’s been stirring along the riverside. Not cranes or condos. Something softer. Something deeper.
From September 26 to 28, 2025, the Klang River Festival returns — and if you’re a lover of urban exploration, grassroots design, and slow culture, this is a date you’ll want to save.
This isn’t your typical “food stalls and fireworks” kind of event. Instead, Klang River Festival (KRF) turns a neglected riverside into a space for art, ecology, public imagination, and real community dialogue.
It’s a mix of:
- Site-specific art installations
- Workshops for all ages
- Talks with urban planners, historians, and ecologists
- Quiet provocations like plogging walks, zine-making, and memory mapping
Because rivers are memory. Klang River is more than water — it’s the backbone of a royal town, a silent witness to change, migration, and decay. This festival doesn’t try to fix the river overnight.
What if we paused, noticed, and imagined with it again?
What to Expect This YearOrganized by a collective of artists, researchers, and community builders, this year’s edition builds on past collaborations — but with bolder experiments in:
- Reclaiming public space
- Telling Klang’s hidden stories
- Encouraging co-creation, not just consumption
Workshops include everything from eco-material prototyping to storytelling walks with local elders. It’s urban acupuncture with a soul.
