Here are the details:

As always, admission is FREE!

Over the past year RIUH has held 13 uniquely themed weekend events. In total, they have showcased 625 creative entrepreneurs through their pop-up market, held 28 creative workshops, and hosted 450 musicians, visual artists, and performing artists.

On top of that, RIUH has collaborated with loads of cool companies like Grab, The Cultural Economy Development Agency (CENDANA), SOCAR Malaysia, KL Fashion Week, Agak-Agak, Good Vibes Festival, and many more. All in the name of creativity!

Take a trip down memory lane during last month's RIUH "Back to the 90's" weekend:

Show Malaysia some love by creating your own unity ribbon or purchasing the ribbons in support of Projek 57's movement of hope. Additionally, witness a live doodle demonstration centred on everything Malaysian by Doodle Malaysia sponsored by BAS KL!

Go wild at RIUH After Dark when DJs Bunga Action Girl and Robotron 5000 join forces under the collective Bad Habits, bringing you the best indie, disco, dance, and pop tunes! *Entry charges to RIUH After Dark may apply.

You can also get free ice cream from Minus 4 Degrees during the event. Just keep a look out on RIUH's Instagram page ;)

To celebrate its birthday, RIUH will be selling its past T-shirts and also collaborating with Pantun Pins for a very special birthday pin. Wear these and get free admission to RIUH After Dark. Bentuk-Bentuk will also be producing limited edition concrete decor, exclusively in conjunction with the celebration.

There will be over 40 pop-up stores set up at RIUH, each one handpicked and totally unique! Shop for accessories, clothes, beauty, makeup, home decor, and so much more. From quirky and cute, to elegant and stylish, there's something for everyone here.

One of the main reasons why we love RIUH so much... all the food! Whether you're in the mood for something local and traditional, a Western classic, or something completely new and innovative, RIUH is the place to be for the yummy treats all day long.
