Tasmania Malay Cultural Society president Zafni Abdul Aziz said the society was created during the pandemic to stop the feeling of isolation.
After hosting workshops, the group wanted to share their culture with the rest of Tasmania.
"We tried to put everything together to have a glimpse of what Malay culture is about," he said.
The festival will include traditional food such as dodol and sambal, games such as batu seremban and congkak, and a Malay traditional house photo booth.
There will also be traditional dance and music performances where attendees can join in.
A booth will be set up at the event to demonstrate the art of batik colouring.
The Tasmanian Malay Cultural Festival will be held at the Hobart Town Hall on November 20 from 12pm.
