We are pleased to announce that the 37th Baba Nyonya International Convention will be held in Penang, Malaysia. Our sister association, State Chinese Penang Association (SCPA) is the organiser of the convention this year.
Organiser's Message:
This year, the Convention returns to Penang, bringing together Peranakan communities across the globe in a celebration of heritage, fellowship and living traditions. This yearโs theme โUnveiling the Peranakan Withinโ invites delegates to look beyond the many roles and identities of everyday life and reconnect with the heart and spirit of being Peranakan. The Convention programme combines meaningful cultural exchange with immersive experiences that showcase the richness of Penangโs Peranakan culture. Delegates will be welcomed at the Esplanade for โDondang Sayang, a Peranakan Street Soireeโ, a lantern-lit evening inspired by the nostalgic atmosphere of Chap Goh Meh, featuring Penangโs sedap-licious hawker fare and the timeless melodies of Dondang Sayang. The gala dinner, โGrace Behind the Mask โ A Peranakan Masquerade Ballโ, marks the first black-tie gala in the Conventionโs 37-year history. Elegant yet playful, the evening reimagines the Masquerade as a celebration of the many layers of culture, memory, and grace that shape the Peranakan experience. More than a Convention, this gathering unveils the heart of the Peranakan spirit, leaving delegates with a renewed sense of what matters most, and how each of their stories continues to weave together a living masterpiece of the vibrant Peranakan community.
