About Melaka Bila Larut Malam
"Melaka Bila Larut Malam" ("Melaka when the night is late") is a night programme the city council runs about once a month in the vehicle-free zone around the Stadthuys. It is not a market as such: the 2026 editions had stage shows by the council's band and cultural troupe, themed nights for Chinese New Year (with fireworks) and Hari Raya, and lucky draws. MBMB said that in 2026 visitors wearing traditional Melaka ethnic dress get free entry.
When it started in June 2024 it ran from 11 pm to 2 am, with late opening and RM10 tickets at attractions such as the Melaka River Cruise and Menara Taming Sari. The latest edition we found was on 2 May 2026, and times and offers change from one edition to the next, so check the MBMB website or Facebook page before planning around it. Jonker Walk is a five-minute walk across the river.
