From a two-day festival to folklore, crafts, comedy and improv, this weekend has it all. LahLahLand 2026 takes over MIECC, The Mines, with sneakers, food, concerts, esports, skateboarding and three new segments.

Prefer something more laid-back? Hear folklore and legends at Hikayat Fandom’s Saturday storytelling sessions, make something at Thinking on Box’s workshops at GMBB, or browse and borak at the Borak Place market. Comedy fans can catch true spooky encounters told with a funny twist, while theatre lovers can watch five actors perform a script they’ve never seen, live and unrehearsed.
