Jalan High Street and Jalan Raja roads are closed off during this week to set up stalls during day, and at night, a section of Kingsway closed off for other performances and events.
Rows upon rows of tents and stalls are set up along this road and some sections of Jalan Raja, with sellers selling various unique souvenir items, toys, balloons, snacks, watches, fashion accessories, decorative items, promotional wares, and foods & drinks.
During that time events such as Lion dance, Dragon dance and cultural performances are also a regular schedule during the nights putting up a show on Kingsway.
The market continues for the week right up to New Year's eve, after which they will close down for the holiday.
In order to visit this market at High Street, timing is critical to coincide with the last week before Chinese New Year's eve.

To picture Miri when the township came to know oil, we have to project ourselves into a very different past. When the original Shell men arrived, it consisted of 20 scattered houses and a few shops. These included a bazaar, a gambling farm, a pawn shop and an Arab shop. The trade of Miri consisted chiefly of jelutong, brassware, belachan and budu.
