We’re bringing back the Nacre Weekender for a couple of events that will haunt you for an evening and then some. Every edition of Nacre Weekender is a considered sweep of the city’s most compelling happenings, spanning dining, culture, and lifestyle. It is our midweek note to the curious—a way to decide not only where you will be, but how you will spend those hours.
As October draws to a close, Kuala Lumpur finds its spirit in two acts: nights of revelry and days of discovery. From Halloween spectacles to art fairs and community festivals, this weekend captures both sides of the coin.
After Dark
31 Oct: W Kuala Lumpur’s Cirque Noir & Crystal Halloween
W Kuala Lumpur’s Halloween Specials, @wkualalumpur @wetdeckkualalumpur
W Kuala Lumpur pulls out all the stops this Halloween with two signature experiences. Cirque Noir at FLOCK transforms dinner into theatre with towering seafood spreads, bottomless bubbly, and incentive to dress up in your most ghastly gowns; while Crystal Halloween at WET Deck, in collaboration with Crystal Head Vodka, features guest DJs and W’s signature nightlife energy in a costumed party with the twin towers as the backdrop. P.S.: The party continues with the Second Wave on 1 November if you can’t get enough.

31 Oct: Día de los Muertos
Amazonas at The Exchange TRX is channeling Mexico’s Day of the Dead with colour, music and frightening fun. Expect resurrective beats on the dance floor by San and Jaelyn, free-flow Patrón tequila and cocktails, and even free Dia de Los Muertos face painting. Like Lady Gaga once sang: Do the dead dance.
31 Oct – 2 Nov: Nights of Fright 11 @ Sunway Lagoon
Malaysia’s biggest Halloween attraction returns in its eleventh iteration. Sunway Lagoon’s annual Nights of Fright invites the bravest of the bunch to a sprawling experience of haunted houses, scare zones, and eerie performances across the theme park. The Puppeteer has taken over, and you’re dangling from his strings. A cult favourite for thrill-seekers, NOF remains the definitive haunt in the Klang Valley.

31 Oct – 2 Nov: Kala Kelam
Kala Kelam by KL Life Fest is bringing cheeky charm to Central Market with three days of indie vendors, craft and food under a playful Halloween theme—asking its guests to forget about the true horrors of life and indulging in a little bit of fun.
In The City

Those in the know are familiar with The Zhongshan Buildings creative ensemble of artisans, merchants and community. For one-day only on 1 November, these creative communities welcome you to the annual PESZTA festival.

KLoe’s KLove Market is making its final return of the year this weekend. For the 10th edition, the Traders Market KL is partnering with Reka Design Week 2025 to celebrate the best of Malaysian art and design. Over 35 local brands will occupy the hotel’s poolside event hall and even its guest rooms for its signature boutique experience. One-of-a-kind batik outfits, hot sauces with a local-inflection, and scent-sational touches are among the treasures you may find here.

1 Nov: Live Love Labour Festival 2025
A festival for anyone ready to challenge the “rules” of work, love, and life, Live Love Labour 2025 explores what it means to live on your own terms. Explore candid panels, interactive installations, and the “Opting Out of the Dress Code”style competition celebrating self-expression through non-conforming looks. From “Ditch the Fairytale” to “Escaping the 9-to-5”, the day blends reflection, rebellion, and creativity in equal measure. Perfect for free spirits, thinkers, and anyone tired of fitting in.
30 Oct – 2 Nov: A4 Art Fair 2025 @ GMBB
Kuala Lumpur’s most eclectic art gathering returns as A4 Art Fair 2025, transforming GMBB into a living canvas under the theme “The Art of Everything.” This year’s edition blurs the lines between art, craft, design, and lifestyle—celebrating how creativity seeps into the everyday. Expect immersive showcases, regional collaborations, and pop-inspired works from over 90 artists and makers across Asia. For anyone who lives and breathes creativity—artists, designers, collectors, or simply the art-curious—this one is for you.
