Early start or late night? Kuching’s 24–25 October weekend has both: a museum heritage walk, a free WAK music session and a wildlife-themed charity run. The important distinction: the run’s registration deadline has already passed, so this is not a list of three guaranteed walk-in activities. All times below are Kuching time (UTC+8). Saturday, 24 October — Sarawak Museum Heritage Walk Time: 6:00am flag-off Start and finish: Borneo Cultures Museum, Kuching This 4.8km walk connects the Sarawak Museum’s Old Building, Tugu Pahlawan (Makam Pahlawan), the Air Raid Shelter, St Thomas’s Cathedral and the Natural History Museum. It is a good fit if you would rather give the old city some attention than rush between photo stops. The listed fee is RM50, including a T-shirt and medal. Registration is through the organiser’s poster QR code; availability of last-minute places is not confirmed. Before setting an early alarm, check with the listed contact, Mohamad Noor, on 013-3549710. Do not assume you can register at the starting line. Programme and registration poster — ICOMOS GA2026 Saturday, 24 October — SIDEWALK RHYTHMS Time: 8:00pm–10:00pm Venue: Drunk Monkey, 68 Carpenter Street, Kuching Listed admission: Free WAK Festival’s music programme brings Sarawak’s musical heritage together with contemporary sounds. If a 6am start is not your kind of weekend, this is the evening option to keep on your list. Choose the 24 October session when checking the programme. The series also has a 31 October date at The Nobleman Bar & Dine; that is a different weekend and venue, not a second stop for this Saturday. Check the current event page before heading out, especially if bringing children or needing specific access arrangements. Event details — WAK Festival on CloudJoi Sunday, 25 October — RUN TO PROTECT Endangered Species 2026 Charity Run 4.0 Time: 6:00am–10:00am Venue: MBKS Foyer, Jalan Padungan, Kuching Organiser: Kuching Love Book Association This wildlife-themed charity run is the Sunday pick for readers who already have a confirmed entry. The organiser’s Ticket2U page lists 25 October, and says registration closed on 29 September. Do not turn up expecting to buy a race entry on the day. Already registered? Check your race-kit instructions and the organiser’s latest notices before leaving. For everyone else, the Saturday music session is the simpler option to investigate rather than planning around an unconfirmed race place. Current event information — organiser’s Ticket2U listing I would pick one anchor activity, not try to force all three into the weekend. Two 6am starts with a Saturday night out between them is a fairly ambitious plan. Keep the organiser links handy for any changes before travelling.

Need a few different ways to spend the weekend? Here are three Kuching picks, from a thoughtful Saturday night to an easy city wander and a Sunday evening procession. PechaKucha Kuching Vol.12 — “The Power of 20” Saturday, 17 October · networking and buffet from 6:15pm; talks begin at 8:20pm Lane 187 @ Theatre Hotel, Kuching. Sarawak Heritage Society marks 20 years with an evening of stories and ideas — a good fit if you like hearing how people see the city and its future. SHS event details Stinky Toe 2.0 — Find Them All! Event period: 1–31 October · self-guided; no fixed session time listed Around Kuching. Track down the whimsical Stinky Toe characters, take photos and redeem WAK Festival rewards while exploring town. Handy if you want a flexible daytime plan rather than another fixed-time booking. WAK Festival activity · October event dates Kuching Archdiocese Eucharistic Procession Sunday, 18 October · starts at 6:00pm; procession and traffic arrangements run until 9:00pm Starts at St Joseph’s Cathedral and follows a 3.8km city-centre route. It marks 50 years of the Archdiocese of Kuching; expect road closures along parts of the route, so leave extra travel time if you are nearby. Event and route details A talk-filled Saturday, a pick-your-own-pace hunt, or a Sunday procession — which one would you put on your weekend list?

Keeping the weekend flexible? Here are three very different Kuching stops for 10–11 October. RX: The Reader Experience Saturday, 10 October · 10:00am–5:00pm The Lit Club by Subject Matter Company, 3rd Floor, Lot 177, Wisma SugarBun, Jalan Satok. Expect reader-sharing sessions, local writers and a second-hand book corner — a nice one to browse at your own pace. Event details ️ MBKS Buy Back Recycling Campaign Sunday, 11 October · 8:30–11:00am Tabuan Jaya Sacofar Tower (opposite Super Save). A Sunday-morning community stop from MBKS; the council listing has the time and location. MBKS event notice Music and Words 2026: The King’s Singers Sunday, 11 October · 7:30pm Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK). The King’s Singers are joined by Jehté Chamber Choir for an evening concert — a good one to save for after dinner plans. Ticket and entry details are on the event page. Bookish Saturday, a useful Sunday morning, or a big vocal finish to the weekend — which one sounds most like your kind of plan?

Need a weekend plan? Kuching has a good mix this time — a big live-music outing on Saturday, a spooky late-night experience, then an easy family stop on Sunday. ITOK Fest Saturday, 3 October · 2:00 PM · Sarawak Stadium A cross-border music festival celebrating Indonesian and Sarawakian musical heritage, with Silet Open Up among the headline acts. Check the event details before heading over. Are You Afraid of the Dark? Saturday, 3 October · 8:00–10:00 PM · Urban Capsule by Faradale, 1st Floor, Lot 244 An after-dark session built around spooky stories, games and surprises — a fun pick if your group prefers a little suspense to another ordinary night out. Tickets are listed from RM32. See the organiser's event listing. CreativeKids Family Day cum Charity Sale Sunday, 4 October · 8:00 AM–1:00 PM · The Association of Churches in Sarawak, Jalan Stampin A family-friendly morning event and charity sale hosted by Kreatif Kindergarten. Check the event listing for updates. If you want one full Saturday out, pair the afternoon music with the evening story event; Sunday’s family day is the gentler option. Do check each listing for last-minute changes before leaving. #Kuching #WeekendEvents #KuchingEvents

Still deciding what to do around Kuching this weekend? Here are three very different plans, from a last-night festival stroll to a home-living expo and a Saturday comedy show. 23rd Kuching Intercultural Mooncake Festival Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September, 5:00–10:00 PM Carpenter Street and Ewe Hai Street, Kuching Make this your evening food-and-lantern walk: the festival brings more than 100 stalls together, with mooncakes, other bites and cultural performances. It wraps up on Saturday, so these are the final two evenings to wander through the old streets and sample what catches your eye. Modern Living Home Expo Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September, 11:00 AM–9:00 PM MetroCity Event Centre (MCEC), Kuching If you are furnishing, renovating or simply enjoy browsing home ideas, this is the big indoor option. The organiser lists more than 500 brands and 400 booths across furniture, appliances, kitchens, bathrooms, lighting and more. Give yourself time to compare rather than rushing through. Dr Jason Leong – In Laughing Memory 2026 Comedy Special Saturday 26 September; 3:30 PM show. The 8:30 PM show is sold out; confirm afternoon ticket availability before travelling. Chemsain Building, 172 Jalan Rock, Kuching An English-language stand-up show, around 90 minutes long, built around grief, love and finding humour in difficult moments. Admission is ticket-only and the show is for ages 16 and up; check the afternoon-show ticket page for current availability before making the trip. I’d pair the mooncake festival with a relaxed walk through the old town, then consider the Saturday afternoon show. Which one sounds most like your kind of weekend?

The weekend is here — here are three Kuching picks if you are looking for something to do. 1. 易经智慧 2026 (I Ching Wisdom 2026) Time: Saturday, 19 September, 2:00 PM Venue: The Space @ Saradise KCH A Chinese-language I Ching wisdom session listed on Eventbrite. A nice indoor option for anyone curious about traditional Chinese philosophy and self-reflection. [image: 1789689801419-event1.jpg] 2. Semenggoh Wildlife Centre Time: Saturday or Sunday; orangutan feeding sessions are usually 9:00-10:00 AM and 3:00-4:00 PM Venue: Semenggoh, about 20 km south of Kuching Go early for a chance to see the semi-wild orangutans during feeding time, then spend the rest of the morning in the rainforest. Feeding is dependent on wildlife conditions, so check before leaving. [image: 1789689801541-event2.jpg] 3. Borneo Cultures Museum Time: Saturday or Sunday, 9:00 AM-4:45 PM Venue: Borneo Cultures Museum, Kuching city centre A relaxed rainy-day plan: explore Sarawak's history, indigenous cultures and natural heritage under one roof. Good for families, visitors and anyone who wants a slower weekend. [image: 1789689801683-event3.jpg] Quick note: The first listing is from Eventbrite; the other two are regular Kuching attractions rather than one-off weekend events. Please confirm ticketing, opening hours and wildlife schedules before heading out. Sources: Eventbrite Kuching events · Sarawak Forestry · Sarawak Museum

Weekend plans still empty? Here are four Kuching picks for 11–13 September — from a big music festival and anime gathering to an inclusive art showcase. Because haze conditions have been affecting outdoor programmes, check the organiser's latest update before leaving. Borderland Music Festival at Sarawak Cultural Village in Damai is the full evening option, with KSHMR, Ben Nicky, Blasterjaxx, Arcando, RAMENGVRL and more than 40 artists on the line-up. It needs the most transport planning, especially for anyone returning to Kuching after the final set. Torabera 4.0 at The Spring Shopping Mall is the easier indoor choice: cosplay, creator booths, gaming tournaments and themed cafés spread across a three-day gathering. It suits a casual visit where people can arrive and leave around the mall schedule. At GSC The Spring, the free screening of Michiru offers a shorter, more local story. The 30-minute animated short uses Kuching streets, markets, the riverfront and public library as its setting. Seating is first come, first served, with ticket collection from 10am at the Isekai Zero Booth for the afternoon screening. The fourth option is the inclusive art showcase listed in the programme. Unlike the festival and mall events, it is the quieter pick for visitors who want a slower indoor stop. Check the organiser's current timing before travelling because programme details can change, and haze may affect outdoor activities.

Kuching, this weekend needs a small change of plan. With the haze still affecting outdoor activities, the Merdeka Spirit Run has been postponed to 4 October, while the Kuching Lights and Floral Festival and Luna Light Wonderland remain temporarily closed. So here are four indoor options for 5–6 September instead. Please check the live API reading before leaving home and keep outdoor time short. 1. Borneo Cultures Museum Time: Saturday and Sunday, 9:30am–4:30pm Place: Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, next to Padang Merdeka This is the easiest half-day plan if you want somewhere comfortable, spacious and genuinely worth the trip. The five floors cover Sarawak and Borneo through objects, stories and interactive displays; allow at least two hours so you are not rushing the upper galleries. [image: 1788480398087-borneo-cultures-museum-resized.jpg] Source: Sarawak Tourism Board 2. Kuching Cat Museum Time: Saturday and Sunday, 9:00am–5:00pm Place: DBKU Headquarters, Bukit Siol, Jalan Semariang, Petra Jaya A very Kuching choice, especially for families or anyone who has somehow lived here for years without seeing the giant cat entrance. The galleries mix cat art, history, collectibles and plenty of quirky photo spots. [image: 1788480398397-cat-museum.jpg] Source: Kuching North City Hall (DBKU) 3. Movie session at TGV Vivacity Time: 5–6 September; sessions run from late morning into the night—check the live schedule before booking Place: TGV Cinemas, Level 3, Vivacity Megamall, Jalan Wan Alwi If you just want air-conditioning and an easy two-hour escape, this is the no-planning option. Current listings include English, Mandarin and Korean titles, with IMAX available at this branch. Pick the session online first so you do not end up wandering the mall waiting for the next show. [image: 1788480398451-tgv-vivacity.jpg] Source: CHINPAKLOONG Architect via Archify 4. Bowling at Megalanes Adventure World Time: Saturday and Sunday, 9:00am–12:00 midnight; confirm lane availability before going Place: The King's Leisure Complex, Lot 7852, Section 64, Kuching Good for a group that cannot agree on a movie. Bowling keeps everyone indoors and gives you something active to do without spending time in the haze. Weekend lanes can fill up, so call ahead if you are bringing a bigger group. [image: 1788480398502-megalanes-kuching.jpg] Source: KuchingBorneo Quick reminder: conditions and opening arrangements can change at short notice during the haze. Check APIMS plus the venue's latest social update before heading out. If the air is still very unhealthy or hazardous, staying home is honestly the better weekend plan.

Kuching is testing Sarawak's first Zero Food Waste to Landfill pilot, starting today at two major conference venues. [image: 1785202606837-review_food.jpg] Image source: Sarawak Tribune Business Events Sarawak (BESarawak) is launching the four-day pilot from July 28 to 31 during the 51st IUPAC World Polymer Congress (MACRO 2026). The project covers more than 800 international delegates at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching and The Waterfront Hotel Kuching. What will be tracked Organisers will work on menu planning, portion control and recovery of surplus ingredients where food safety rules allow it. The whole process will be documented through a compliance platform before independent assessment. Certification results are expected after the congress ends. BESarawak said it is pursuing The Pledge on Food Waste Certification, an internationally recognised standard for measuring food waste prevention and diversion. Why it matters If this pilot works, future conferences in Kuching could have a clearer model to cut food waste instead of sending everything to landfill. It also gives Sarawak's business events sector a practical way to show sustainability, not just talk about it. Location: Borneo Convention Centre Kuching and The Waterfront Hotel Kuching Details: Sarawak's first Zero Food Waste to Landfill pilot runs from July 28 to 31 with over 800 delegates.

Alright, let me tell you about a place that's been sitting just 40 minutes from Kuching city centre - and it's way cooler than most people expect. I'm talking about Wind Cave Nature Reserve (Gua Angin) in Bau. [image: 1783044442758-deal-weekend.jpg] Source: Sarawak Forestry Corporation If you've already done Fairy Cave in Bau (we covered that one before), Wind Cave is literally just a stone's throw away. Most people lump them together as a morning trip, and honestly? That's the smart way to do it. So what's the deal with Wind Cave? Unlike Fairy Cave which is lit up like a tourist attraction, Wind Cave is more... raw. It's a limestone cave system managed by Sarawak Forestry Corporation, and you're basically walking through natural caverns with incredible rock formations - stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones. The kind of stuff that takes thousands of years to form. Here's the catch: bring a TORCH. Seriously. The cave is dimly lit (if at all in some sections), and your phone flashlight won't cut it. Some visitors say renting a torch at the entrance is possible but supplies are limited. {img1} Source: CPH Travel Google Maps rating: 4.3/5 (797 reviews) Here's what people are saying: 'The cave is impressive - massive chambers with interesting formations. The steps can be slippery so wear proper shoes.' - Google review 'Went with my family, kids loved it. But the walk up can be tiring for elderly folks.' - Google review 'Better than Fairy Cave in my opinion. Less crowded, feels more adventurous. You can hear the bats chattering inside.' - TripAdvisor review {img2} Source: Malaysia Traveller What you need to know before going: Address: Jalan Bau-Lundu, 94000 Bau, Sarawak Hours: 9am - 3pm daily (CLOSED on Tuesdays) Contact: 082-767 836 Entrance fee: Minimal / donation-based (check with SFC for current rates) Tip: Wear non-slip shoes. The limestone can get slippery. Must bring: Torch / flashlight (they might have rental but don't count on it) You'll hear bats. They stay up high. Don't worry. Pro tip: Do Fairy Cave first (opens 8am), then head over to Wind Cave, then swing by Tasik Biru (Blue Lake) on your way back. That's a solid Bau day trip right there. {img3} Source: TripAdvisor The walk inside takes about 30-45 minutes depending on how much you stop to admire the formations. It's not a long trek, but it's an experience - the echo, the cool air, the total darkness when you turn off your torch for a second. Honestly gives you a different perspective on things. Is it worth the drive? If you're the type who likes nature, caves, and slightly off-the-beaten-path stuff - yes. It's not Disneyland. It's a real cave in a nature reserve. But that's exactly the charm. Have you been to Wind Cave? Or any of the Bau caves? Drop your experience below

Kuching to host INTERHASH 2028 — world's biggest Hash House Harriers gathering Sarawak has won the bid to host INTERHASH 2028, the global gathering of the Hash House Harriers community, set to take place in Kuching from July 14 to 16, 2028. [image: 1782435829990-interhash2028.jpg] Tourism Minister Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah announced that the event is expected to draw up to 4,000 participants from over 450 HH chapters worldwide, generating an estimated RM12 million in tourism receipts for the state. The biennial gathering features four running categories: Ball Breaker Run — 26-28km endurance challenge Long Run — 7-10km Medium Run — 5-7km Short Run — 3-5km Participants will also take part in a Red Dress Run Charity Run a day before the main event, with proceeds going to local welfare bodies.

Beyond the 3km fun run and activity booths, what stood out was how deeply MILO is woven into local family life. "We grew up with MILO, and now our kids are carrying on the tradition," said one participant. Sarawak South City Council (MBKS) Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng said the turnout reflected both cultural unity and shared lifestyle habits among Sarawak's diverse communities.
