What is IDFest?

Inspired by Indonesia's rich and vibrant heritage, Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia Universiti Malaya (PPI-UM) proudly presents IDFEST 2026. A cultural festival dedicated to honouring, celebrating, and sharing the beauty of Indonesia with the world.

IDFEST is more than a cultural event. It is an immersive journey where a Musical Drama and Art Exhibition converge to tell the story of Indonesia; a stage where past meets present, and cultural pride comes alive.
