Party the Night Away at Pesta Raya 2006

Starting November 17, the Esplanade in Singapore will be filled with lights as a large crowd will gather for a series of performances celebrating Hari Raya. Dubbed Pesta Raya 2006, this ten-day festival celebrates the Malay culture and arts through a string of musical, dance, and theater extravaganza.
