Weekend of art, coffee, good vibes in KL


Visitors are invited to relax in outdoor chill domes and enjoy an indoor terrace picnic while children have fun playing with bubbles.

SET against the 200-million-year old Gombak-Selangor quartz ridge, “Picnic by the Hill” is a free, family-friendly weekend of artisanal coffee, immersive art and nature-­inspired lifestyle experiences.

This weekend, from 9am to 6pm, the public event will be held at the KL East Sales Gallery.

It promises a relaxed, village-­meets-modern gathering in a green township just 15km from Kuala Lumpur city centre.

Expect outdoor chill domes, an indoor terrace picnic, bubble play for children, lifestyle pop-ups and a mini art exhibition with dot painting by local artist Anne Rocks, who is known for her painted rocks.

Visitors are encouraged to bring their own picnic mats or “healing chairs” in support of a greener, more sustainable event.

A line-up of F&B and artisanal vendors will be featured through­out the weekend, offering everything from kombucha to gelato and handcrafted skincare.

F&B highlights include Foodsbury, Warong Hafidz, Wheel of Baking, Zam Kopi 110 (served from a Range Rover), Gadis Lemonade, Isla’s signature banana pudding, Voyage Kitchen & Patisserie, Waffle 5, Kombu­chacha, Mamagoh, Woksy Dum­pling, Frosty Dream Gelato and Gustoshack.

Non-F&B and art vendors include Mail Hitam (traditional Malaysian sketching and painting), Grotto Comics (collector’s comics), Gubah Malaysia (flower bar), Attaskin (skincare), a wellness check station (Saturday only), and art displays by Lukis Petang.

The event also offers an exclusive first glimpse of The Reya, KL East’s upcoming premium freehold high-rise development.

Designed for modern multi-generational living, The Reya offers three to five-bedroom units, including dual-key layout options with views of the KL skyline on one side and untouched forest hills on the other.

It embodies KL East’s vision of balancing urban convenience with green serenity.

KL East is a 64.3ha integrated township in Desa Melawati that includes 27.1ha of dedicated greenery, the 21.4ha KL East Park and Micro Forest, KL East Mall and the KYS KL East Interna­tional School.

It is also seamlessly connected via six major highways and is close to the Gombak LRT and the upcoming East Coast Rail Link station, which is set to begin operations in 2027.

“Picnic by the Hill” is a chance to explore what KL East has to offer while relaxing with coffee, views and good company.

The first 50 visitors to register their interest in The Reya will receive a complimentary beverage from Kopilou.
