Hextar World at Empire City opened its doors to Malaysians on Saturday, 29 November 2025, with a lively celebration that showcased the spirit and energy of Hextar World. Set to be the Pulse of Damansara, the destination marked this milestone with a vibrant showcase of cultural performances, interactive activities and family-friendly entertainment that invited visitors to explore, discover and celebrate together.

The highlight of the day was the reveal of High Street, Hextar World’s enclosed lifestyle promenade, which was brought to life with movement, music and colour as visitors experienced the space for the first time.

A Destination Built for Community

“Hextar World represents an important step in how we reimagine spaces for people,” said Dato Eddie Ong, Group CEO of Hextar Group. “We are creating a destination that feels alive and connected, where culture, creativity and community can grow together. Today’s celebration is only the beginning. As we move toward our next milestone in 2026, our commitment is to build a place that inspires connection, supports families and offers something new with every visit.”

High Street Unveiled Through Culture, Music and Movement

Hextar World introduced its vision for a community-driven destination through a curated line-up of cultural and contemporary performances. Visitors enjoyed:

  • Fusion and contemporary dance showcases
  • Acrobatic circus presentations that brought artistry and spectacle to High Street
  • Live instrumental sets including violin and percussion
  • Festive character appearances, including a Santa mascot dance show
  • Drum collectives and bubble shows
  • Modern circus and LED showcases by Psycusix and Luminatrix

The celebration concluded with a Malaysia Multicultural Unity Dance featuring Malay, Chinese, Indian, Sabah, and Sarawak traditions, led by Guinness World Records holder Lawrence Suari Mutu, recognised for the Most Choreographed Dance Online Simultaneously.

These cultural and contemporary performances activated High Street throughout the day and will continue every weekend in December as part of Hextar World’s festive programming.
