Melaka Nightlife

Every weekend from Fri to Sun, Jonker Walk (Jln Hang Jebat) comes alive with street performances, smell of fried food and stores selling trinkets.

I wouldn't just call it nightlife but think of it as a weekly carnival. Crowded most of the time and it starts from 6pm to 12midnight.

The Hokkien Hui Kuan as senior citizens belting out Hokkien oldies to Elvis Presley.

There is a main stage constructed by the tourism people and there performances by chinese orchestra there.

Dress Code: Dress in whatever fashion you want but light clothing is preferred.

Visitors to Jonker Walk can participate in this free karoake sessions held at the Fuchien or Hainanese Associations's premises. Every night particularly on weekend, karaoke sessions are held here to entertain the crowd.

The karoake sessions are open to all and the songs selections are not limited to only Chinses songs (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien etc, from the oldies like Shaghai Beach to current chart toppers) as English songs are also available though the selections are quite limited.

Sing your heart out loud, its a great place to sing along and to relax yourself with the local crowd.

If you happened to be around Jonker Walk at nigth, check out the design and architecture of the buildings in the vicinity.

Most of the buildings here are living proofs of Melaka’s rich Baba-Nyonya legacy. Their walls are nicely decorated with marbles and "glows" at night. The darkness of the night give a striking contrast to the decorations- something that you can't see if you are here during the day.

The first ever light and sound project in South East Asia, Melaka's Light and Sound Show is modelled after similar shows held at other historical places around the world such as the Egyptian Pyramid at Gaza, the Acropolis at Athens and the Red Fort at Delhi.

The show is said to be among the best way to learn up the history of Melaka where significant events in Melaka's history - from the Melaka Sultanate period, its colonial days until independance - are enacted by means of lights, narrative dialogue, music and sound effects to project real-life drama. It is highly educational yet entertaining, a good orientation for visitors of Melaka to understand the city's history and culture.

Operating Hours : 8.30 pm nightly
Entrance Fee : Rm10.00 (Adults) and RM2.00 (Children)

Jonker Walk come alive at nigths, particularly on weekend (Friday to Sunday) when the night market are held here from 6pm onwards.

The night market is not merely a place with a few hawkers selling food, toys and tidbits – it is an interesting place to explore or simply for a leisurely stroll. On special occasion, the crowd will also be entertained by live bands and cultural shows along the street.

Come every weekend, the narrow, twisted streets at Jonker closes to traffic and hawkers on pushcarts gather to sell all kinds of delicious street food and local items. In the meantime, the shops at Jonker Walk also bustles with life. You can hear strains of karaoke at the clan associations mingling with the sound of funeral rites performed just a couple of streets away. This is the heartbeat of Melaka and the very place you should be if you're here..

Melaka Night life starts really late, even on a weekend...
Walking into the clubs at 12midnite and not finding a crowd seemed alien to me as I was used to the KL clubbing scene (although I've also retired from that scene for some time!)

Nevertheless, when the crowd started coming in, the tables turned and we had a blast at Peppermint...

DJ played a good mix of R&B, club mix, pop and rock...A good mix of music..

Dress Code: Wear what you want..No bouncer is going to throw you out... heheeh

It is the place to be at night for anyone in malacca. The road is officially closed after 7pm to let all the shophouses along jonker street set up shopon the road.

The streets are filled with stalls that sell almost anything... One can find food, toys, collectibles, antiques, paintings etc along jonker street once it is fully ready by 8pm.

BARGAIN for watever u want to purchase.

Dress Code: Anything goes.
