THE EMBASSY OF MALAYSIA PARTICIPATED IN ELEFEST AT THE SMITHSONIAN’S NATIONAL ZOO IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

On 8 August 2026, the Embassy of Malaysia participated in EleFest at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, D.C.

At the Malaysia booth, visitors took part in the “Pin the Tail on the Elephant” game and received a selection of Malaysian treats and souvenirs, including Malaysian snacks, ice lolly pops (yes the ais krim Malaysia!), elephant-themed merchandise and Budi the Elephant colouring books for children, and many more. 

It was a fun-filled day of learning, games and treats, while raising awareness of elephant conservation and introducing visitors to a little more of Malaysia’s wildlife.
