Tropicana Metropark recently held the first-ever Commune Fest 2025 at its 9.2-acre Urban Park, which drew more than 3,000 visitors. The market was held over four days from 11 September 2025 to 14 September 2025, from 3pm to 11pm. A truly vibrant and fun event, there were 50 stalls of curated Halal F&B and arts & crafts booths, live performances, a petting zoo, an inflatable balloon, and bubble play. There were also special performances by local artists Ara Johari and Wany Hasrita.

The Commune Fest 2025 was an action-packed, long-weekend event filled with creativity and excitement, as stalls, booths, and family- and pet-friendly stops were dotted across the easily accessible Urban Park. Inspired loosely by the design concept of Melbourne’s Yarra River, the park is home to frequent bazaars, fairs, and markets. It is strategically positioned with proximity to major routes such as Federal Highway, North-South Expressway, LDP, NPE, NKVE, SKVE, and KESAS. Commune Fest 2025 was held adjacent to SouthPlace Shoppes, all market attendees also had direct access to the retail area, which houses the premium grocer and anchor tenant, Mercato, as well as Eurodeli, Uncle Jack Fried Chicken, Red Cawan, Anytime Fitness, Fit Metrics, MyNews, Healthlane Pharmacy, KK Mart, Mail Boxes Etc, and Quick Washing Lounge, with more businesses to open in the pipeline. Visitors who had registered online received free cash vouchers and were eligible for the Lucky Draw, winning prizes from Samsung appliances to other electrical items.

Ixora Ang, Managing Director, Marketing & Sales and Business Development of Tropicana, said, “Tropicana Metropark is a sustainable and prosperous township that has successfully evolved to a vibrant community hub in Subang Jaya. Tropicana Metropark has played host to many successful social events and various fun bazaars.”

“Last year, Hello Bazaar attracted over 10,000 attendees, while the recent You Ni Bazaar drew 30,000 visitors across two weekends. We are pleased to have executed yet another exciting event for the Subang community with the fully Halal Commune Fest 2025, which brought in a crowd of more than 3,000. An ever-so-versatile neighbourhood and event, we see the continuous hosting of bazaars and markets adding value to the community, while remaining aligned with Tropicana’s mantra of redefining the art of living, sharing, and caring. Tropicana Metropark will also be home to the Offline 16 finale, where a happening coffee rave will be held on 1 November 2025. Follow us on our socials for our update,” Ixora added.
