Kedah Rice Straw Carnival (KJK)

Karnival Jerami Kedah (KJK) is a seasonal celebration held in Kampung Selengkong, Yan — one of Malaysia's most productive rice-growing districts. This vibrant carnival spotlights rice straw, the often-overlooked byproduct of the harvest, as its main attraction. Visitors can admire creative straw sculptures, enjoy traditional cultural performances, and savour a wide variety of local Kedah cuisine at the food stalls. Hands-on activities such as straw weaving workshops and guided paddy field tours add an interactive dimension to the experience. Set against the lush rural landscapes of Yan, the carnival captures the spirit of Kedah's agricultural community in a fun, festive atmosphere. Suitable for families and visitors of all ages. It is highly recommended to confirm the official event schedule prior to visiting, as activities and operating hours may change from day to day throughout the carnival period.
