Established in 1998 with an audience
of only 300 people, the Rainforest World Music Festival is now a major annual
event in the State’s music calendar, eagerly anticipated by a crowd of over
20,000 people who flock from overseas, interstate as well as locals. It is a
family oriented event with afternoon sessions especially for children and
tickets sold, also incorporates a family package.
The Festival consists of a richly diverse programme with
performers from around the world at nightly shows on three outdoor stages, the
well-known Jungle and Tree Stage as well as a new Big Tent Stage. Afternoon
shows take place on an indoor stage, mini sessions spread over 3 afternoons,
daily drum circles in the evenings. There is also a food and village mart
selling an array of local, international and fusion food as well as festival
memorabilia.
It also incorporates health and wellness programmes as
part of the festival, with “parades” and surprise pop-up performances
throughout the festival.
Even when the Festival stops, the party doesn’t! This
year’s RWMF features a DJ Session at Escobar in Damai Central as soon as the
last concert performance wraps up.
The Festival also has a record of environmental awareness
as evidenced by its attention to recycling, waste management and the use of
shuttle buses to reduce carbon emission.
The objective of having the event is to create an
international event in support of Sarawak Tourism Board’s objectives of
promoting Sarawak as the region’s premier destination which emphasize on performing
arts and the preservation of culture as well as to delivering a world-class
event that will generate generous revenue and profit to the business community,
sponsors and individuals in and around Kuching.
