BiG Buzz : Sleepover In The City

by Jia Ying Chia

Wilderness and camping enthusiast united for a unique experience at the inaugural Youth Urban Glamping Festival in Kuching, Sarawak. Held at the rooftop of the Aeon Mall Kuching Central in Jalan Datuk Patinggi Ahmad Zaidi Adruce, festival-goers were able to pitch their tents overnight as well as enjoy the variety of activities over the two-day event which included an outdoor camping and gears exhibition, skateboard performances by the Black Brigade Skateboard Academy, a Best Tent contest and a K9 Unit demonstration.

 

Visitors also had the chance to participate in a coffee chat dialogue with Sarawak’s Deputy Minister of Youth, Sport and Entrepreneur Development, YB Dr. Ripin Lamat. Glamping is a portmanteau of ‘glamourous camping’ and the term was coined to describe more extravagant camping experiences and accomodations. The event attracted campers across Kuching, and as far as Sarikei, Sibu and Miri, with over hundreds of people attending the event.
