Umno and PAS are targeting a turnout of 10,000 to commemorate the sealing of their alliance with a joint charter on Sept 14.
The crowd is expected to comprise leaders, members and supporters from both parties.
Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa said MCA and MIC leaders, as well as PAS' allies in Gagasan Sejahtera, are also expected to attend the event at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) in Kuala Lumpur.
"No less than 10,000 people are expected to attend... What Umno and PAS are doing is dynamic in nature headed towards the 15th general election," he added.
Annuar was speaking at a joint press conference with PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan at PWTC, which also houses the Umno headquarters, this afternoon.
During the May 9 general election last year, Umno and PAS were at opposite ends, with the vote split contributing in part to Pakatan Harapan capturing Putrajaya.
Following their electoral loss, the two parties set aside their 68-year-old rivalry and forged an alliance which led to a hattrick of by-election victories in Cameron Highlands, Semenyih, and Rantau.
Umno and BN have 40 Parliament seats and PAS has 18 seats at present.
