Visit Beautiful Terengganu 2017: Calendar of Events
How many times have I visited Terengganu over the past few years? I have lost count, to tell the truth. I only know that no matter how many occasions I have been to this east coast state, it is not enough because Terengganu is just so beautiful to explore Yes, I definitely do not mind enduring some nine hours on the road from Ipoh!
Anyway, did you know that 2017 is the best year to visit Terengganu if you have yet to tour the state? Looking at this Calendar of Events, it is definitely the time to Visit Beautiful Terengganu in 2017 and I have been told that these are only the highlights. There are more to come!
Stay tuned as I endeavour to update this list of events as and when I get extra information throughout the year. This shall be my own reference post as well.
If you need further information on any of these events or festivals, feel free to drop a comment.

Hello Emily! This is exciting, you gave us tips to help us schedule our trip soon! Now remains is when or which month should I date my tickets, hahaha.
Wow! I have not visited Terengganu for a long time. Easily couple of years. Cuti Cuti Malaysia for 2017 🙂
I have not visit Terengganu yet. I love the way you list down the event in Terengganu.
Keropok lekor is a must food to eat when you visit Terengganu. Hopefully going to visit there again!
Agreed, theres too many things to see and explore in Terengganu. Used to grow up in Terengganu for about 7 years (:
I really missed my beautiful state. After spending 25 years away, I decided to come back and settled down in K.Terengganu. I started to enjoy the peaceful life again, visiting the beautiful beaches and to enjoy the delicious food of Terengganu.
Hi Zam,
I know what you mean. Home will forever be home.
