“The registration will be closed on August 10 at 3pm. Participation is free of charge,” said the event organising chairman Cr Mohd Taufik Abdul Ghani at a press conference on Wednesday. Those who missed the registration deadline can still join in the fun but will miss out on the lucky draw, he added.
Mohd Taufik said the event is part of the Youth, Culture and Sports programme held by the council to promote a better and healthier lifestyle in the community and it is in line with the Healthy City programme advocated by the council all these years.

He said the fiesta is the fourth edition, and KTS Mutual has supported it for the third year.
Moreover, the mayor added there are 20 lucky draws prizes up for grab – with a Toshiba Pro Theatre set as the grand prize. The Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Johari Tun Openg will be the guest of honour at the event.
