SHOOTS defines WAK Festival 2026 as a season of emergence. It celebrates new genres taking shape, bold ideas breaking ground, and young talents stepping into the light. As a community driven platform, WAK nurtures creative startups and first time voices, transforming fragile beginnings into confident growth that renews and energises Sarawak’s creative industry.
The WAK Festival is a community-driven month-long open access celebration of the arts, culture and lifestyle. Happening every October, the multi-genre programme is centred around Kuching and greater Kuching.
