Pesta Pulau Pinang returns, but moves to Tasek Gelugor after 50 Years at Sungai Nibong

Pesta Pulau Pinang will return from December 1 to December 31 this year, relocated to Padang Menora in Tasek Gelugor due to the closure of its traditional site in Sungai Nibong, which will be developed into a mixed-use transit hub under a proposed Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Masterplan.

Despite the change in venue, the event retains its prestigious name, continuing Penang's long-standing tradition.

The new venue was selected after the original grounds were earmarked for the construction of the Mutiara Line LRT station.

Further details about the event will be released once finalized.

GEORGE TOWN, Sept 15 — Pesta Pulau Pinang will return this year for a month-long celebration starting December 1, with the event relocating to Padang Menora in Tasek Gelugor.

Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow confirmed that while the annual event continues as scheduled, it will be held at a more compact venue compared to its traditional site in Sungai Nibong.

“Although Padang Menora is smaller than the Sungai Nibong grounds, it is suitable for continuing the annual event,” Chow told reporters following the closing ceremony of the national-level Penang2030 public speaking competition at USM today.

The decision to move the event follows the closure of the original Pesta grounds to facilitate the construction of the Mutiara Line light rail transit (LRT) station and depot.

The state government had explored several alternative locations before the Penang Regional Development Authority (Perda) offered the Tasek Gelugor site.

Despite the change in venue, the state executive council decided to retain the name “Pesta Pulau Pinang,” acknowledging the brand’s prestige and recognition over the past half-century.

The event will run from December 1 to 31, with further details to be announced once finalised.

The former Pesta site in Sungai Nibong is now the focus of a proposed Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Masterplan covering approximately 23.47 hectares.

Developed through a collaboration between the state government, the Asian Development Bank, MRT Corporation, and various federal and state agencies, the draft master plan is expected to be finalised in October.

The vision for the site is to create a long-term, mixed-use transit hub integrating residential, commercial, and public facilities. This large-scale urban transformation is expected to take between 10 and 15 years to fully implement.

由于位于 Sungai Nibong 的传统举办地将根据拟议的以交通为导向的开发 (TOD) 总体规划关闭，槟城节将于今年 12 月 1 日至 31 日回归，并移至 Tasek Gelugor 的 Padang Menora 举办。

尽管举办地点有所变更，但该活动仍保留了其享有盛誉的名称，延续了槟城悠久的传统。

由于原址被划拨用于建设珍珠线轻轨站，因此选择了新的场地。

活动详情将在最终确定后公布。

乔治市，9 月 15 日讯——槟城节将于今年回归，从 12 月 1 日开始，为期一个月，活动地点将移至大士古尔的梅诺拉广场。

槟城首席部长曹观友证实，虽然一年一度的活动将按计划进行，但举办地点将比传统的双溪尼邦场地更加紧凑。

“虽然帕当梅诺拉比双溪尼邦的场地小，但它适合继续举办这项年度活动，”周先生在今天于马来西亚理科大学举行的全国槟城2030公众演讲比赛闭幕式后告诉记者。

由于原先的 Pesta 场地关闭，以便建设 Mutiara Line 轻轨交通 (LRT) 车站和车辆段，因此决定将活动移至其他地方。

在槟城区域发展局 (Perda) 提出 Tasek Gelugor 地块之前，州政府曾考察过几个替代地点。

尽管举办地点有所变更，但州行政委员会决定保留“槟城节庆活动”的名称，以表彰该品牌在过去半个世纪中享有的声望和知名度。

本次活动将于12月1日至31日举行，具体细节将在确定后公布。

位于 Sungai Nibong 的前 Pesta 场地现在是拟议的以公共交通为导向的发展 (TOD) 总体规划的重点，该规划覆盖约 23.47 公顷。

该总体规划草案由州政府、亚洲开发银行、捷运公司以及各联邦和州政府机构合作制定，预计将于 10 月份最终定稿。

该地块的规划愿景是打造一个集住宅、商业和公共设施于一体的长期综合交通枢纽。这项大规模的城市改造预计需要10到15年才能全面完成。
