Abstrakt: George Town has developed over 200 years. In 2008, George Town was successfully listed as a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Site (WHS). Since then, many events had been celebrated to commemorate the prestigious inscription of the heritage city. One of them is the George Town Heritage Celebrations (GTHC). GTHC focuses on promoting the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of the local community in the heritage enclave. While fragile, it is very important to preserve and transmit both knowledge and skills of ICH from one generation to the next. Consequently, numerous researches about UNESCO George Town are focusing on tangible heritage, and the ICH is given less attention. Based on the GTHC 2022’s e-brochure, this quasistatistical qualitative research aims to investigate the promotions of the ICH vis-à-vis multi-ethnic local community in UNESCO George Town WHS, Penang, Malaysia. The findings showed that GTHC 2022 is most likely to promote the Chinese community’s ICH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
