Entertainment and Music:

Kep is recognized for its tranquil ambiance and focus on fresh seafood, and while it traditionally offers a subdued evening atmosphere, a new initiative is actively cultivating a local music and arts scene.

The recently launched Kep Music City project aims to transform Kep into a vibrant music and arts hub. This initiative provides weekly entertainment, including DJ performances on Fridays, live music from both local and international artists on Saturdays, and soothing live music during Sunday brunches. These events take place at various participating venues, such as Kep West, Tara Lodge, Saravoan Lodge, and Raingsey Bungalows . Additionally, visitors can find low-key beachfront bars, which offer a relaxed setting for drinks.
