Karnival Jom Heboh 2026 kembali ke Padang Begonia, Angsana Johor Bahru Mall dari 30 Oktober hingga 1 November 2026, Jumaat hingga Ahad. Media Prima's outdoor carnival is in its 23rd year. Berita Harian on 14 October called the field Padang B. The mall's own October poster uses Padang Begonia. Same grass, same three days.
The Malaysia Book of Records lists Jom Heboh as the longest running outdoor carnival in the country. Press copy repeats an average of more than 300,000 visitors per stop. That is a Media Prima figure. There is no public turnstile count at the gate. What you can check is the programme. Karaoke Drama Sangat, Buletin Challenge, children's colouring, Zumba, Jom Lokal Jam, meet-and-greets with TV3 actors and TV9 personalities, free health and dental checks, Studio Jom Heboh and Studio Tonton Drama Sangat. More than 150 promo booths. Named brands in the Berita Harian write-up include Mi Sedaap, FGV, BABA'S, AFFIN Bank, and CELCOMDIGI. Food stalls sit next to the booths. Bring cash and a card. Carnival queues move slowly after 7pm.
Sunday morning is the Fun Run
Jom Heboh Fun Run is on 1 November 2026, Sunday, at the same mall. Muse Group is the race coordinator. Distances are 5 KM and 8 KM, both non-competitive, ages 4 and above. Howei listed the village open at 6:00am, Zumba at 6:15am, 8 KM flag-off at 7:00am, 5 KM at 7:30am, then prize and lucky draw at 9:30am. Cut-off is 1.5 hours for 5 KM and 2.5 hours for 8 KM. Fees on Howei, excluding processing, admin, and RM3 GPA insurance, ran RM50 to RM60 for 5 KM adults, RM40 to RM50 for 5 KM kids, RM70 to RM80 for 8 KM adults, RM60 to RM70 for 8 KM kids, and RM200 to RM240 for the 5 KM family pack. Entitlements are a tee, bib, tote, and medal. Howei listed registration closed on 21 October 2026. If you already have a ticket, race pack collection is 31 October 2026, 10:00am to 6:00pm, at Karnival Jom Heboh JB. Self-collection. Bring IC and the e-ticket. A proxy needs an authorisation letter. There is no shipping.
Lucky-draw numbers come from the bib. Howei's Malay instructions say marshals snip a tab at bag drop or at the finish. You have to be at the stage when they call the number. Show the original bib and IC or passport. Staff and immediate family of the organiser are out. OHBULAN mentioned 50 prizes. KWSP is on the run as Lari Baik-Baik. The race-pack block on the same Howei page is 31 October at the carnival. A 31 July Johor Boulevard line on that FAQ is leftover copy from another race.
Inside the mall that weekend
Angsana's October 2026 poster puts Deepavali Carnival on 29 October to 1 November at Concourse and Foyer, Level 2. That is a separate indoor vendor run from the outdoor carnival. Hours on an earlier Instagram vendor call were 10:00am to 10:00pm. MG Auto Roadshow is 30 October to 1 November at Mini Concourse, Level 1. The mall's 29th anniversary night, Jom Rewang on 15 October, is already over. Recurring fixtures continue. Aerobic Fun Fit every Sunday at 8:30am, Main Entrance Level 2. Wing Long Taekwondo every Wednesday 8:00pm to 9:30pm, Terrace Level 3. Pasar Pagi Johor Village Market every Saturday 7:00am to 12:00pm on the open parking at Level 1.
Konsert Jom Heboh is billed for Saturday and Sunday nights. Local Instagram accounts repeated the concert line without a 2026 artist list. Wait for @jomhebohofficial on the day for any names. Hashtags in the press are #KJH, #KarnivalJomHeboh, and #KJHJohor. Mall enquiry numbers on the October poster are 07-235 1420 and 011-6565 1420. UDA Angsana Sdn. Bhd. management office is L133A, Level 1.
Angsana sits on Skudai Highway, Pusat Bandar Tampoi, 81200 Johor Bahru. Drive or Grab. There is no rail stop. From bandar it is the Skudai run, the same corridor as Paradigm. Singapore plates come via the Second Link toward Skudai, or via CIQ then the highway west. Saturday and Sunday are Johor's rest days again, so the field will fill from late morning. Park once. Do the run at dawn if you have a bib, then the carnival, then Level 2 if the children still want Deepavali stalls. The carnival is free to walk. Fun Run is ticketed and already closed on Howei.
