With the September school holidays coming to an end soon, it’s a good time to squeeze in one last weekend trip to JB with the fam before everyone heads back to school and work. And if you’re looking for something new to add to your itinerary, there’s a bazaar worth checking out.
Bersama Satu Bazaar by MR D.I.Y. is making its Johor Bahru debut from 11th to 13th September 2026, with over 100 booths and family-friendly activities. Here’s what you can expect.

After 2 years of bringing the Bersama Satu Bazaar to crowds in the Klang Valley, MR D.I.Y., Malaysia’s leading discount and home improvement chain, is taking the bazaar down to JB for the 1st time.
This free-entry event is held as part of the brand’s Hari Kebangsaan celebrations – Malaysia’s Independence Day, for those who don’t know – which takes place annually on 31st August.

The bazaar will be held at Angsana Johor Bahru Mall’s carpark, a popular JB shopping mall that’s also known for hosting an annual Ramadan bazaar.
It’s easy to get to if you’re crossing over from Woodlands Checkpoint, with the mall located around a 15- to 20-minute drive from JB CIQ, depending on traffic.

Jalan Fun is where you’ll find interactive games and hands-on activities to keep the little ones entertained. There’ll also be live cultural performances happening throughout the 3-day event, so you can catch a show while exploring the bazaar.

JB’s weather can get pretty toasty, especially when you’re spending hours walking around an outdoor bazaar. Thankfully, MR D.I.Y. Club members can take a breather at the air-conditioned VIP Member Lounge, where you can cool down and enjoy free drinks before heading back out.
If you already have 2 Bags in your MR D.I.Y. Club account, you’ll automatically get a voucher for one-time access to the lounge.
Not a member yet? Download the MR D.I.Y. Club app (App Store | Google Play) and spend at least RM40 (~S$12.50) at Jalan DIY to earn 2 Bags and unlock the perk.
And while you’re at it, members can complete in-app missions at the bazaar to redeem exclusive MR D.I.Y. Bersama Satu Bazaar merch.
Make a pit stop at Bersama Satu Bazaar for a weekend of food, shopping, games, and entertainment.
