The people in Penang celebrate all year round festivals including religious, cultural and arts. They happen almost every month such as the acrobatic lion dances during Chinese New Year, the intricate weaving of ketupat (rice dumplings) during Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Eid Mubarak) and the unbelievable body piercings that are seen during Thaipusam (a Hindu religious festival). Besides these, home-grown arts festivals are increasingly popular with global travellers such as the highly-anticipated George Town Festival and the international award-winning George Town Literary Festival. Other annual events such as the Catholic St Anne’s Feast Day, Penang International Food Festival, George Town Festival, George Town Heritage Celebration, Penang Bridge International Marathon and Penang International Dragon Boat Festival are not to be missed in Penang.
