Miri May Fest
Primary tabs
The City Day Celebration started in 2005, after the official upgrade in status from town to city, although the May Fest celebration has been celebrated annually since 1989. Major celebrations are planned throughout the month of May every year, such as events open to public participation, musical, dancing/singing or cultural and arts events, sporting events, youth events, charity events, trade and food fairs, events that are open to International teams or participants, and events that attract big crowds from the general public that are well received. Some of the past events include anything from children's coloring contests, to large scale marathons that cover a distance from one part of the city to another.
The month of May is a good time to visit Miri to experience the May Festival. Events vary from one year to another, be sure to grab a copy of the Calendar of Events when in Miri.

Piasau Camp was a residential area built in the 1950s for Sarawak Shell for its employees, located on a stretch of the Miri peninsula adjacent to Lutong south from the Lutong airfield. 
In the old days, a ferry allows commuters to cross the river from the town to the Miri peninsula conveniently. The ferry is also vital to the hospital emergency responses.
Highstreet Chinese New Year Market (also known as Gong Xi Bazaar) is an annual event that takes place about a week before the celebration of the Chinese New Year eve. Highstreet Roads are closed off during this week to set up stalls during day, with a section of Kingsway closed at night for the event.
