If the school holidays are coming up and there is a long list of books that need to be bought, this could be a good time to shop without putting too much pressure on the household budget. Pelangi Books Gallery is bringing back its popular Jualan Jalan-Jalan Pelangi, better known as JJJP, and the 2026 edition is set to take place in Bandar Baru Bangi for 11 days.
JJJP 2026 Bangi will run from 21 to 31 August 2026 at Wisma Pelangi, giving parents, students, teachers, book lovers and families plenty of opportunities to browse through a large selection of discounted books.
The biggest attraction is the chance to find selected books at prices starting from just RM0.60, while selected titles can be discounted by as much as 90%. There is also the much-anticipated RM150 Box Sale, BundleMania sets and books from several invited publishers.
Best of all, admission to the event is free.
For families around Bangi, Kajang, Putrajaya, Seremban and nearby areas, JJJP 2026 could be an interesting school holiday outing that combines bargain hunting with something useful for the children.
A Book Sale Where RM Can Go a Long Way
One of the reasons JJJP continues to attract attention is the variety of books available at discounted prices. Instead of spending a large amount on several new books at regular retail prices, visitors can browse through different sections and look for titles that fit their needs and budget.
Among the advertised bargains are children’s books starting from RM0.60, kindergarten books from RM1, exercise books from RM2 and academic reference books from RM8.
Selected books can also enjoy discounts of up to 90%.
That makes the event worth considering for parents preparing their children for the next school term. A few inexpensive activity books, storybooks and exercise books can quickly add up when bought elsewhere, so finding them at clearance-style prices could make a noticeable difference.
Of course, the cheapest titles and most popular books are likely to disappear quickly. Stock availability is limited, so anyone with specific books in mind should avoid waiting until the final few days.
The RM150 Box Sale Could Be the Main Attraction
For serious bargain hunters, the RM150 Box Sale is probably one of the offers to watch.
The concept is fairly simple. Visitors pay RM150 for a box and can fill it with eligible Pelangi books until the box is full. It is the sort of deal that can become particularly worthwhile for families who need a sizeable collection of books rather than just one or two titles.
There is, however, a catch that bargain hunters should know about.
Only 20 boxes are available each day, and the purchase is limited to one box per family. The Box Sale takes place in the morning, and visitors are advised to arrive as early as around 9.00am to queue.
The Box Sale applies to eligible Pelangi books available inside the JJJP sale area. Books carrying special promotional prices and titles from invited publishers are excluded.
With only 20 boxes available each day, this is clearly one of those offers where arriving early matters.
BundleMania Makes School Shopping Easier
Parents who prefer buying books in sets can also check out BundleMania.
Rather than going through individual titles one by one, BundleMania brings selected books together in sets, including options for children from Year 1 through Year 6, along with children’s books and other selected categories.
There are reportedly only 300 BundleMania sets available throughout JJJP 2026, so these will also be sold while stocks last.
For parents preparing a child’s reading or learning materials, a ready-made bundle can save time as well as money. It is also an easier option for those who already know that several books will be needed for the coming school term.
More Than Just Pelangi Books
Another reason to make a trip to JJJP 2026 is that the event is not limited to books published by Pelangi.
Several invited publishers are expected to participate, giving visitors a broader selection of reading material. These include PTS Publications, Manes Wordworks, Blink Publications, Popular, Jejak Tarbiah, Kualiti Books and Odonata.
Depending on availability, visitors can look out for novels, comics, children’s titles and general reading materials alongside academic and educational books.
This makes the sale more interesting for families because not everyone visiting will necessarily be shopping for school books. Parents can browse for their children, students can search for something to read during the holidays, while adults can take the opportunity to add a few books to their own collection.
Bring the Children Along
JJJP 2026 is also designed to be more than a shopping trip.
Throughout the 11-day event, there will be activities covering areas such as learning, arts, creativity, food and STEM. These activities are intended to give children something to enjoy while their parents browse the book sale.
Activities are scheduled across two main sessions, from 11.00am to 1.00pm and 2.00pm to 4.00pm.
However, visitors should check the latest announcements from Penerbitan Pelangi before attending a particular activity because fees, age requirements, participant capacity and registration arrangements may vary.
This is one of the better reasons to consider visiting during the school holidays. Instead of simply taking the children shopping, families can turn the visit into a useful day out where children can discover books and participate in educational or creative activities.
Why Should You Visit JJJP 2026?
There are several good reasons to put this book sale on the school holiday calendar.
First, the prices are the obvious attraction. Books starting from RM0.60 and discounts of up to 90% make it easier to stretch a book-buying budget.
Secondly, the range is useful. Parents can look for school materials, exercise books and children’s reading, while older students and adults can browse novels, reference books, comics and other reading materials.
Thirdly, the RM150 Box Sale provides an opportunity for families to buy a much larger quantity of eligible books in one go. The limited daily quota means planning ahead is important, though.
Most importantly, the event gives families a reason to spend part of the school holidays doing something productive. Books are something children can continue enjoying after the trip is over, making this potentially more worthwhile than a typical shopping outing.
Expect Crowds During Popular Days
JJJP has built up a sizeable following over the years. The event reportedly attracted more than 5,000 visitors in March 2023, while the August 2025 edition welcomed more than 15,000 visitors.
More than 160,000 books were sold during the 2025 edition, showing just how popular the event can become.
With that in mind, visitors should expect busier periods, particularly during weekends and the mornings when the Box Sale is available.
Arriving earlier also makes sense for anyone hoping to find the best selection before popular titles sell out.
Facilities Available at Wisma Pelangi
Visitors will have access to several facilities at and around Wisma Pelangi, including free parking, a surau, toilets, food areas, food vendors, seating and rest areas.
Payment options include cash, cards, QR payments and e-wallets, making it relatively convenient for different shoppers.
Free parking is available within and around the venue, although spaces may become harder to find during peak periods.
Families bringing young children should also note that stroller and wheelchair access is limited in certain areas because of the venue layout. Visitors who require special assistance may want to contact the organiser before making the trip.
Who Should Go?
JJJP 2026 is particularly suitable for parents looking for affordable learning materials, teachers searching for classroom resources, schoolchildren, students, book collectors, novel and comic readers, kindergartens, tuition centres and families looking for an inexpensive school holiday activity.
It is also worth considering for anyone travelling from Bangi, Kajang, Putrajaya, Seremban and surrounding areas.
There is no need to spend a fortune to enjoy the event. Visitors can simply set a budget, browse through the available books and look for titles that offer genuine value.
For those planning to take advantage of the RM150 Box Sale, however, an early start is recommended because only 20 boxes are offered each day.
Plan a Visit to JJJP 2026 Bangi
The combination of low book prices, discounts of up to 90%, the RM150 Box Sale, BundleMania and activities for children makes Jualan Jalan-Jalan Pelangi 2026 an event worth considering during the August school holidays.
Admission is free, so visitors can drop by without having to pay an entrance fee. The main thing is to plan ahead, especially if there are specific books or special offers they want to secure.
For families trying to make their money go further, this could be a good opportunity to stock up on children’s books, learning materials and reading entertainment while also giving the children something interesting to do.
So, mark the dates from 21 to 31 August 2026, head over to Wisma Pelangi in Bandar Baru Bangi and see what bargains are waiting on the shelves. Those aiming for the RM150 Box Sale should remember that only 20 boxes are available each day, making an early arrival particularly worthwhile.
