Here's few things about the Sunrise Jazz & Rhythm Fest 2006 for those of you who're interested. i hope it'll address some of your concerns, if not, you still can write me. Not that i will know everything, but i'll try to find out the info, and by all means, i'm strictly not an informat. So anything that requires exceptional physical strength and skills as those displayed within MI3 or 007, is beyond my expertise. Meanwhile, here you go:-1. What's this? Is it really free? Ok. You're right. The admission of the Sunrise Jazz & Rhythm Fest 2006 is really, really, really Free! Thanks to the great minds and wonderful people within the Sunrise. So if someone is trying to collect cover charge or entry fee from you, report to the guard. They have plenty there within the plaza, so it's very safe.
2. Where do i park my vehicle?
However, if you're driving, the basement parking within the plaza has many lots. The parking management normally charges a flat rate during the evening. Auto-pay machines are located around the buildings, so get ready some 'syilings' and 'ringgits'. This does ease the jam at the exit of the parking lot, provided everyone remember to pay for their ticket before collecting the vehicles.
3. What can i drink & eat?There are plenty of cafes, fast food chain and restaurants surrounding the fountain courtyard so be there early and pick the outlet you fancy. No name dropping here since none of these outlet attempted to bribe me for doing so. But you can get an extensive range of food from decently cheap (since the word 'very' doesn't sounds good with 'cheap') to 'great-value-for-money' to 'splurges', and with that would upgrade the term "
drink & eat" to "
wine & dine". However, there'll be more chairs and tables around the fountain as the usual practice, waiters & waitresses to pitch sales. So pick your choice.
4. What can i wear? This is strictly for those who haven't been there before. No offence. You can wear anything you wish. Part of the whole area is open-air, while there's shaded pavement, then there's the air-conditioned outlets. Smart-casuals for the conservative, very casual for the care-free, and anything-in-between for everyone.
5. Can i bring my baby?
Any baby or babes from 1 month to 88 years old are welcome. No discrimination. Prams and wheel-chairs can access through lifts in carpark.
6. Would it be VERY loud?
This is subjective to where you sit. Anyway, it's nothing to do with rock music, so if you're planning to get deaf here. Try harder. Chances are you won't succeed.
7. How to get there?
There's no LRT or monorail stations located within walking distance. Motor-cycles, bi-cycles, drive is OK. Getting friends to drive is greatly recommended! It's more fun, environmental friendly, not to mention petrol is rather expensive these days. Click

8. When is the festival?The festival starts on 28th July and ends on 12th August this year. It's only on weekends, Fridays & Saturdays. Where else can we find a festival that's free admission? Click
