Setting this year’s beach carnival apart is the introduction of cultural performances including Punjabi and Indian dances, Chinese opera, and Baba and Nyonya musical performances which are set to take place in the evening.
“It’s a great way to show tourists that Penang is a cultural melting pot, where people of all races and religions partake in activities together,” said state Youth and Sports, Women, Family and Community Development chairman Lydia Ong Kok Fooi.
The organisers expect a big crowd numbering in the thousands to throng the beach throughout the day.
