As part of Visit Malaysia 2026-2027 (VM2026-2027), Tourism Malaysia will hold the Citrawarna Speed Festival 2026 from September 23 to October 4, fusing Malaysia’s cultural legacy with motorsport-inspired attractions and interactive experiences.
Colours of Speed and Colours of Art & Culture are the two main themes of the event, which will be held at IOI City Mall Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1, and Sama-Sama Hotel.
Entertainment and Motorsport Collide
Colours of Speed will offer a variety of activities and showcases with a motorsport theme, such as a display of famous supercars and a collection of autographed goods and racing memorabilia.
A racing simulator competition at IOI City Mall Putrajaya will be one of the main draws. Participants can put their talents to the test and compete through qualifying stages for a chance to proceed to the final and win prizes.
Honouring the Cultural Diversity of Malaysia
In addition to the motorsport program, Colours of Art & Culture will highlight Malaysia’s rich cultural legacy with interactive events, traditional music and dance, handicrafts, and performances that represent local communities and customs.
The Colours of Parade, which brings together 1,500 dancers and cultural artists from many communities and areas around Malaysia, will be a prominent feature. The parade will highlight the nation’s rich cultural legacy with traditional music, dancing, vibrant costumes, and cultural manifestations. At a later time, further information about the parade will be revealed.
The National Department for Culture and Arts (JKKN), Yes Travel & Holidays Sdn. Bhd., IOI Properties, Istana Budaya, Kraftangan Malaysia, Sama-Sama Hotel, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), SNS Network, SDeal Malaysia Sim Racing & Motorsport, and HP are just a few of the strategic partners supporting Citrawarna Speed Festival 2026.
Encouraging Travel to Malaysia in 2026–2027
Tourism Malaysia hopes to showcase the nation’s culture and tourism offerings while utilising the allure of motorsports to draw in larger audiences with the Citrawarna Speed Festival 2026.
The celebration coincides with Malaysia’s ongoing increase in foreign tourist visits. over January to June 2026, the nation received 21.1 million foreign tourists, a 2.5% increase over 20.6 million during the same period in 2025.
The festival, which is a component of VM2026–2027, is anticipated to boost economic prospects and tourism while fostering cultural appreciation, helping local communities, and enhancing Malaysia’s standing as a travel destination.
The official Citrawarna Speed Festival social media channels will be used to announce competition rules, participation requirements, registration information, schedules, and terms and conditions.
