ParkCity Year-End Light Festival
Mariah Carey is defrosting, and KL folks can get ready to jingle all the way. The Waterfront Desa ParkCity is bringing back its ParkCity Year-End Light Festival, which decks the halls, trees, lakes, and pretty much everything in between with twinkling lights.
Held from 29th November 2025 until 5th January 2026, the light-up event welcomes visitors to revel in the glow of thousands of twinkling lights and festive installations. Needless to say, you’ll walk away with plenty of snaps that’ll make your social media uploads shine brighter than Santa’s sleigh.

Prepare to have your eyes dazzled and your camera roll full of towering installations of glowing art pieces that are basically made for selfies. Last year, the showstopper was a 38-foot pyramid Christmas tree, standing tall and twinkly.

While we do not know exactly what installations this year will bring, previous editions have featured whimsical lantern animals, giant sparkling ornaments, and interactive light sculptures that delight visitors of all ages. You can expect plenty of surprises along the trail.

Following last year’s schedule, the festival typically opens daily from 7pm to 12am, giving visitors plenty of time to explore the glowing installations at their own pace. And the best part is that admission is free, so you can enjoy all the twinkling magic without spending a thing.
