Kuching City will soon break ground on a fabulous new building. Currently slated for completion in 2025, this project will revitalise Kuching’s first municipal pool, turning it into a family water fun park. It will reclaim the site of one of Kuching’s oldest restaurants, one of the only structures purpose-built by the City Architect. It will convert a disused car park into a gleaming new gastronomy centre, to celebrate Kuching’s designation as a Creative City. It will rejuvenate one of Kuching’s heritage areas, inspiring people back into the city centre. That is the idea at least.

All hail the Kuching Festival. This annual pilgrimage of food is now in its 34th year, running since 1986, since before Kuching was a city, since before MBKS was a council. This year’s event runs from 28 July to 20 August with over 300 food stalls for you to choose from. Catch our interactive map so you can plan your eating and ongoing coverage as the festival unfolds.
