This Merdeka season, Pavilion Bukit Jalil invites shoppers to come together and celebrate Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage, creativity and shared traditions through “Living Unity – Together, Here.”, taking place from 15th August to 6th September 2026.
At the heart of the celebration is the 10th World Bonsai Convention 2026, marking the first time the prestigious global event is being hosted in Malaysia. Held once every four years and often regarded as the “Olympics of the Bonsai World,” the convention brings together bonsai masters, enthusiasts and practitioners from more than 100 countries, making it a significant milestone for Malaysia on the global bonsai stage.
Led by the Malaysia Bonsai & Suiseki Society (MBSS), the convention will take place across Pavilion Bukit Jalil from 28 August to 6 September 2026, bringing the beauty of bonsai, suiseki and natural wood art to life throughout the mall. Visitors can discover thousands of bonsai, suiseki stone and natural wood art masterpieces, alongside live demonstrations, workshops, seminars and Master Classes by world-leading bonsai artists and speakers across the PIAZZA Level 3 and Centre Court Level 2, while the Level 2 Pink Zone will showcase the intricate art of Suiseki and Wood Art. The official launch on 29th August 2026 will be graced by Yang Amat Mulia Raja Saidatul Mardiah Binti Almarhum Sultan Idris A’Fifullah Shah, Royal Patron of the 10th World Bonsai Convention 2026.
Beyond bonsai, “Living Unity – Together, Here.” celebrates Malaysia’s rich heritage through a vibrant line-up of art, culture and community experiences. At the Level 2 Orange Zone, City Gardening KL will run from 28th August to 6th September, offering shoppers a variety of potted and living plants to discover and bring home, encouraging everyone to embrace greener living and bring nature closer to home.
Adding a contemporary touch to Malaysia’s cultural heritage, Pavilion Bukit Jalil is collaborating with UCSI University’s De Institute of Creative Arts and Design (ICAD) students to present 69 four-foot-diameter giant Wau Bulan artworks from 21 August to 6 September 2026.
