Did you know the history behind it?
KIMF isn't just a food festival. It started back in 2002 from the vision of the late Dato Sim Swee Yong and the Kuching Old Market Community Association (KOMCA).
What began as a traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival โ celebrating reunion, togetherness and gratitude โ has grown into Sarawak's most beautiful symbol of Unity in Diversity.
Organized on the concept of "Sight, Sound & Taste", it was paused only in 2020 & 2021 due to Covid, and came back stronger. From 100 stalls to now over 100+ vendors, with 30% of them Dayak and Malay traders, serving alongside Chinese uncles and aunties and younger generations too.
This is why we love it. In Kuching, we don't just celebrate our own festival, we celebrate EACH OTHER'S. You can find halal satay next to Shanghai mooncakes, Kek Lapis mooncakes next to Korean fried chicken & cheesy Hotdogs โ just like in your video!
This year's 2026 edition is all about community harmony and youth entrepreneurship โ lots of young Sarawak foodies launching their dream stalls here.
Come hungry, come curious.
