Night Festival

The Singapore Night Festival is an annual street festival that occurs over the last two weekends in August & September. It celebrates the arts and Singapore’s rich cultural heritage.

It is held annually in the Bras Basah and Bugis precinct at the heart of Singapore’s Museum District and Art Scene.

The festival is a massive street party centred around an artistic extravaganza of fun and entertainment. There are heaps to see and do, including musical performances, improvisational theatre, film screenings, roving street performers, colourful building-sized light installations, dance, aerial performances, demonstrations of magic and illusion and cultural exhibitions.

The festival includes international performers from around the globe and Singapore’s local talent. The best thing is that attending has been FREE since its beginning.

The National Museum of Singapore sponsors the event and is a major venue for various performances and demonstrations. The Singapore Art Museum and the Peranakan Museum also give the public free admission to their exhibits on festival nights.

Make sure you head down to Armenian Street during the festival. This street becomes a pedestrian-only area with heaps of live entertainment.
