George Town Festival
George Town Festival (GTF) is a month-long festival based in Penang, Malaysia. From our roots as a celebration of George Town’s UNESCO Heritage Site listing, GTF has flourished into what some are calling the most vibrant arts festival in Southeast Asia.
Since 2010, we’ve had the honour of hosting world-class performances, cross-cultural collaborations, and local community initiatives that have changed the face of George Town. Have a look at our gallery to get a taste of the creative feast we lay on each year.
