With the trip to Perak is scheduled for tomorrow, I decided to pay the fest a visit together with the roomie and the youngest offspring after visiting the goalkeeper at her hostel.
There were games for children, fishing competition, handicraft making demonstrations, art exhibitions, street musicians and of course vendors selling their wares but with a twist.
Unlike the usual fares that we saw almost at all other fests which emphasis on selling their online goods, the vendors at the Duyong Art Festival offer items more on the art side (then again, it is an ART festival).
The are artists painting on the jetty, the group Ganukelele promoting their passion for the musical instrument to the mass, the art of making coffee and of course vendors selling foods and drinks.
For the first time in my life I enjoyed my nasi lemak on the waters off Pulau Duyong, all two packs of it followed by a shot of latte. The youngest offspring meanwhile helped herself to the ice kepal which in the end had to be finished by me.

The art festival is a good way to promote Pulau Duyong especially with the Monsoon Cup is no longer going to be held here, showing the world that it is still remain relevant to the populace in it's own way.
