Get ready for Ipoh’s biggest birthday party! Everybody’s Birthday is back at Tin Alley, turning Renri—the seventh day of the Lunar New Year—into an epic feast where 1,200 guests come together to eat, toast, and celebrate in style under the stars.

Missed out in previous years? 2025 is the year to make up for it!

It’s impossible not to feel the festive spirit when you’re sharing a grand feast with 1,200 others in joyful togetherness.

The Snake Grand Banquet is pulling out all the stops, featuring 168 tables arranged in five gigantic dragons, winding through Tin Alley in the most Insta-worthy setup ever.

VIPs, organizers, and representatives from participating organizations came together to toss the Giant Yee Sang at last year’s event, symbolizing unity and prosperity.

No great celebration is complete without a festive spread, and this banquet brings out the best festive flavors—traditional Chinese dishes, local Malay specialties, and vegetarian delights. Of course, the highlight is the legendary Yee Sang toss, where you and your tablemates will throw prosperity into the air (the higher, the better!).

Led by Coach Cayson Chong, the 24 Festive Drums from Ipoh Drum Academy are set to deliver an unforgettable performance.
Last year’s event featured a rare live performance by acclaimed Chinese opera singers, leaving the audience immersed in nostalgia.

Expect non-stop entertainment with high-energy performances like the Dragon Dance, 24 Festive Drums, Indian Peacock Dance, face-changing acts, and Chinese opera. But this year, they’re adding something wild — a live showcase of seven real-life snakes, symbolizing the Year of the Snake, set to the hypnotic sounds of an Indian trumpet playing the ‘snake song’. Courtesy of Taiping Zoo and Lost World of Tambun, these mesmerizing creatures are a first for the event.
