Ramadan season is a time for our Muslim friends to self-reflect as they evaluate and renew their spiritual habits and practices. At the same time, it’s one of the liveliest months ever in Singapore, with plenty of food and retail bazaars taking place ahead of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.

With so many bazaars happening across the city, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. We’ve done the honour of rounding up the ones you should check out, from the must-visits to the underrated gems. Here’s a mix of old favourites and neighbourhood picks, ranked with the best at the top of our list.

And just like that, December is upon us. Before you wrap the year up with a bang, pencil in these unmissable events in between all your holiday dinners and parties. Aside from all the Christmas markets to get your shopping done, there are also other non-festive activities to look forward to.

Just a short 10-minute boat ride away from Singapore, Pulau Ubin might not be the first place that comes to mind for a fun day out, given the lack of trendy cafés and thrilling activities. But that doesn’t mean the island is short on unique experiences. For those who are unfamiliar with Pulau Ubin, we’ve rounded up the best things to see and do on this underrated island.

Nothing's better than a cool drink in Singapore's tropical weather. Or how about a refreshing dip instead? When temperatures are high, take the kids out to cool down at these free aqua playgrounds around the island (though in one case, it's a steamy warm bath for the feet). We've checked out where to go for the best sprinklers, bubblers and water fountains that are great for kids (and adults). Best of all, they are all in public spaces and have absolutely no admission fees.  RECOMMENDED:  The best public pools in Singapore and The best indoor playgrounds in Singapore

Spending 24/7 in the thick of Singapore city life can take a toll. If planning a long trip sounds too tedious to you, then good news – we don't have to get on a plane for a quick respite because our island is itself surrounded by islands that offer a slower pace of life.  Hop on a boat to these offshore destinations and breathe in the fresh air. Set up camp – or a picnic mat if you don't intend to stay the night – and relive those kampong days. These uninhabited islands are ripe for exploration, just don't forget to slather on the mozzie repellant and sunscreen.  RECOMMENDED: The best hiking trails in Singapore and the best nature trails in Singapore

There's a time for trekking and conquering nature trails but there's also a time for sitting pretty and having a picnic – especially now that beaches are open once again. Forget fighting for a table in a hip cafe in the city too. When the weather's looking fine, it's time to pack some bites and look for a spot in one of the best parks in Singapore.  If you're not in the mood to put together a take-out feast, grab a gourmet picnic basket that comes pre-packed with all the tasty finger food you need. All you have to do is to place an order, swing by to collect and be on your way. We've rounded up some places that don't require you to travel to the middle of nowhere, have some shade, and most importantly, located near the toilets (but not too near).

While Singapore might be known for its towering skyscrapers and modern feats of architecture, there’s something charming about the city’s street art scene that gives it that bit of edge. These colourful works are often located in heritage-rich neighbourhoods like Little India, Joo Chiat, and Kampong Gelam, hidden away in the backstreets or covering the facade of old shophouses. The next time you’re out and about, go on a hunt for these street art murals before they’re painted over and gone forever. From the vibrant and bold to the subtle and understated, there’s something for every art lover – or aspiring Instagrammer looking to snap that perfect pic.

Fans of the Hollywood blockbuster Now You See Me, you can finally experience the magic IRL with this live stage adaptation, which is based on the characters of the popular magic-heist franchise. Watch as four world-class illusionists – America’s Adam Trent, France’s Enzo Weyne, Italy’s Andrew Basso and Gabriella Lester from Canada – put on a jaw-dropping spectacle of slick trickery. Don’t blink or you might just miss the mind-blowing magic tricks and surprise twists. The original 2013 movie, directed by Louis Leterrier, stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher as the legendary collective, The Four Horsemen. The film was followed up with two sequels, Now You See Me 2 in 2016, and Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which premiered last year.

Japanese singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ichiko Aoba returns to Singapore as part of her 2026 Across The Oceans Tour. The performance marks the folk musician’s second staging at Esplanade Theatres, following her sold-out concert in 2024. She will be joined alongside a 12-member ensemble, led by composer Taro Umebayashi. Aoba has eight studio albums under her belt, with her most recent being 2025’s Luminescent Creatures. However, it was her 2020 LP, Windswept Adan, that put her on the map. The 14-track project, which was created as a soundtrack to an imaginary film, introduced the world to the singer’s brand of ethereal, softly spun folk music. Across The Oceans is Aoba’s world tour in support of her latest album. The singer is set to hit up Europe and the USA following her stops in Asia.

Experience 60 years of David Hockney’s art through his eyes in this immersive installation at the newly opened IMBA Theatre at Gardens by the Bay. Hailed as a central figure in British art and one of the most influential contributors to the pop art movement in the 1960s, Hockney has always dared to embrace and explore new technological possibilities in his work. Now, even in his 80s, the artist continues to push boundaries to create vibrant, attention-grabbing masterpieces. This 50-minute looped showcase uses a large-scale projection to fill the room, from floor to ceiling, with mesmerising colours, images and sound. It’s divided into six chapters of Hockney’s work, which begin at the start of his career to the present day, letting you in on his creative process throughout the years. Accompanied by a specially composed score by American contemporary classical music composer and arranger Nico Muhly, the showcase also lets you hear from Hockney himself as he explains his experimental style.

Whether you’re a film junkie or history buff (or maybe both), this conversation on Singapore’s film exhibition spaces might pique your interest. Join philatelist and ephemera collector Wong Han Min, researcher Yeo Min Hui, and designer Melvin Tan as they launch their new book, Singapore Screening Spaces. The collaboration takes the form of a visual time capsule that traces Singapore’s film screening spaces and their five-decade-long history, from the first travelling cinema in the 1890s to the post-war reopening of movie theatres. Compiled from a vast private archive of printed materials, the book pays tribute to the trailblazers of the local film industry. To celebrate the launch of the title, the authors will host an exclusive conversation to share more about the stories, insights, artefacts, and the process behind making the book. There will also be a special presentation on Singapore movie theatres, with a spotlight on The Capitol. Following the programme, guests who purchase a copy can get theirs signed by the authors. Each copy also includes free postcards featuring photographs of old cinemas from Wong’s collection.

On the menu are mini ice cream tarts, in flavours like mango passionfruit and black sesame, which you can pair with equally indulgent drinks from Kwaasong Bakehouse.

Then, set aside the small talk, because there won’t be any space for awkward mingling here. Each guest will receive a playing card that assigns their vibe and status for the afternoon to help kickstart conversations. There will also be endless house music, courtesy of DJ Alex Limguini, who will get you moving on the dancefloor, while express tarot reading sessions are available for anyone who would like to get insights on their dating life.

With 2026 labelled as the Analogue Year, it’s time you get yourself a hobby (if you haven’t got one already). The Hobby Potluck is a student-led initiative that aims to create a safe and friendly environment for you to explore and discover different types of hobbies, from tabletop gaming and photography to postcrossing. Drawing inspiration from the potluck concept, the event has collaborated with six hobby groups and clubs in Singapore to share more about their interest and what they do, offering free workshops, demonstrations and activities for everyone to take part in. Nerd out and play a game of Dungeons and Dragons with GuildHall, or go on an inspiring photowalk with Singapore Weekend Photography. For the nature lovers, look out for booths by Nature Society Singapore and Cyan (The Untamed Paths). If you already have a hobby that you love, fret not, because you’re included, too. There’ll be a common area where you can share your passion with others and connect with like-minded individuals. It’s the perfect opportunity to make new friends – because we all know how hard adulting can be.

Before Zouk undergoes renovation, the club is throwing one last daytime party as part of its Sunday market series. Hungover is a chill afternoon affair that brings together music, food and retail for everyone – and even pets – to enjoy. Look forward to filling up your tummies with cheeseburgers from Five Guys, doughnuts from Korio, and French-inspired chicken rice from The Plump Frenchman. And don’t worry, no Zouk party is complete without the drinks. On the beverage lineup are Asahi, Two Sisters Smoothie and Pretty Good Muffins, who will serve up refreshing pours and thirst-quenchers like smoothies, coffee and matcha, alongside some sweet treats. Get your retail therapy in, too, courtesy of independent makers and artisans. Shop for new fragrances and handmade jewellery or browse through racks of vintage and secondhand clothing. Elsewhere, go crate digging with Vinyl Saved My Life, get drawn by Faizal Caricatures, and give yourself a temporary tattoo from The Ink Book. For the paw-rents, make sure to bring your pups and kitties, as there’ll be plenty of pet-friendly booths offering accessories, furniture, treats, and supplements for your fur kids.

Welcome the spring season with Tiffin Room’s specially curated menu, The Wondrous Flavours of Holi. To mark the beginning of the Hindu festival of colours, Holi, the Raffles Hotel restaurant has brought together a delectable and exclusive festive spread spotlighting North Indian cuisine. Created by chef Kuldeep Negi, the menu is available for lunch and dinner, and features vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. For the vegetarian menu, tuck into Subz Methi, an aromatic dish that’s prepared with fenugreek leaves and seasonal mixed vegetables. Meanwhile, the non-vegetarian menu offers a classic Bengali treat – the Chingri Malai Curry features prawns cooked in coconut milk and sweet-scented spices. Both menus finish off with the chanderkala, a traditional deep-fried North Indian dessert that’s stuffed with nuts. To complete the dining experience, you can also opt for its menu of alcoholic beverage pairings. Complement each course with selected beers, reds, whites and Indri Trini, an Indian whisky with notes of oak, berries, nuts, honey and spice.

To mark the 84th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore, the National Heritage Board’s annual Battle for Singapore showcase is hosting over 30 programmes exploring the trails and tales of the country’s wartime past. Highlights include talks, exhibitions, experiences and the first maritime-themed tour. At Singapore Maritime Gallery, learn more about Singapore’s maritime trade history as you go on a journey to retrace the maritime evacuation routes that were taken by boats fleeing Singapore in February 1942. The tour takes you on a round-trip ferry ride that’ll travel from Marina South Pier to St. John’s Island and Sisters’ Islands. This year’s edition also features a new guided heritage trail of Pasir Panjang that’ll walk you through historical battle landmarks, including the Faber Fire Command and Labrador Battery.

For the full list of programmes available, check out its website here. It includes events at SportsSG, the Indian Heritage Centre, the Eurasian Heritage Gallery, and more.

Mandai Wildlife Reserve is galloping into the New Year with a little bit of horsepower. To mark the Year of the Horse, its animal ambassadors take centre stage at the many festive-themed activities and programmes happening across its five wildlife parks – Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, Bird Paradise and Rainforest Wild Asia – and the newly opened playground, Curiosity Cove. At the Singapore Zoo, come experience its brand-new, Hello from the Wild: Horse, an interactive showcase where you can get up close with falabella, the smallest horse breed in the world. Then, meet with a dazzle of endangered Grevy’s zebras over at the Wild Africa exhibit and see if you can spot their three-month-old striped foal. Aside from horses and zebras, other star animals featured in the park’s festive-themed enrichment activities include the Malaysian and Brazilian tapirs, white and Indian rhinos, Sri Lankan leopards, pygmy hippos, and more. Continue the horse-picious activities with vibrant lion dance performances, festive photo points and exclusive festive merchandise.

  Tan Leong KitPhoto: Donn Tan Tan Leong Kit, 86Owner of ‘Y u so like that!’ drink stall How long have you been living in Ubin? I’ve been living here since 1989. What do you do every day on the island? I live on the island on weekdays and go back to Singapore on the weekends to stay with my family. While I’m in Ubin, I usually make sure I keep myself fit by either exercising or gardening, apart from taking care of the shop. I encounter different types of people every day, who come by the store, especially expats and tourists. Favourite part of Ubin? I enjoy every part of the island because the air is really clean here.

What’s it like living in Ubin? Every day is a pretty easy life. Living here is stress-free. As you get older, it’s harder to find jobs, and Singapore can get really competitive. Shop rentals are high, too. I watch television programmes from time to time as I run the shop and attend to customers. However, business here isn’t too great and I still have to pay my shop’s $1,700 electricity bill each month. Favourite part of Ubin? [Laughs] My shop, lor.

It's a sad day for Inuka lovers. The beloved senior polar bear, who was born in the Singapore Zoo, had been suffering from old age illnesses and the wildlife park has announced that he has passed on peacefully this morning (Apr 25).

Unless you've been living under a rock, then you've probably already heard about Hollywood's upcoming summer rom-com Crazy Rich Asians. Based on Singaporean author Kevin Kwan's best-selling novel of the same name, the film tells the story of a woman who travels to Singapore to meet with her boyfriend's family for the very first time – and they're nothing like what she expects them to be. Starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding, the movie takes a peek into the extra lavish and glitzy lives of, well, crazy rich Asians. And it's just dropped its latest trailer. The cast and crew were seen filming here last June, so we weren't surprised to see the clip peppered with glamorous shots of the city. We put our skills to the test and try to spot and guess the iconic landmarks and familiar streets featured: 1) The Merlion Screenshot via YouTube 2) Marina Bay Sands, ArtScience Museum and the Singapore Flyer Screenshot via YouTube 3) East Coast Parkway Screenshot via YouTube 4) Bukit Pasoh Road Screenshot via YouTube 5) Gardens by the Bay Screenshot via YouTube 6) Chijmes Screenshot via YouTube 7) Newton Food Centre Screenshot via YouTube 8) Marina Bay Sands (again) Screenshot via YouTube 9) Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands Screenshot via YouTube You can watch the trailer below and see if we missed any!  Are you excited for Crazy Rich Asians?

This week, we chat with Willy Tan of content agency Aging Youth, which specialises in talent management and music publishing, to talk about the local music scene and his favourite homegrown heroes. What gets you excited about Singapore? I don’t think there’s just one singular thing that gets me excited. It’s the place where I grew up – my family and friends are here. There are always things to do and places to hang out. In fact, sometimes, there might be too many events to go to, but I think that's actually a good problem. #PassionMadePossible! Where’s your favourite place to listen to live music in Singapore? I’ve always loved Fort Canning Green as a venue. It’s spacious and the best part, no one gets in your face too much. Plus it's got a gentle slope, so everyone gets a decent view of the stage.  What are your thoughts on the current local music scene?  I guess technology pushed the music discovery process, allowing more Singaporeans to gain faster and get easier access to new music content. The underground and indie kids will remain the same. They will be there to support their friends and the acts they like. When they grow older with different responsibilities in life, they move on and the next generation of

Every Monday, a guest writer who's "in" with the scene shares a recommendation on what to see, eat, do or buy in the city. This week, we chat with homegrown director Kirsten Tan – best known for her phenomenal work Pop Aye (it also made it on our list for best Singaporean movies of 2017!) – on what the local film community is like and her collaboration with the upcoming Swedish Film Festival that's happening from April 12 to 15. What gets you excited about Singapore? The buzz and dynamism of 24-hour back-alley kopitiams where real life happens, outlierswho go against the grain of this conformist society and Tai Hwa bak chor mee! What should moviegoers and film lovers check out in Singapore? Firstly, there's Asian Film Archives. What I like about the organisation is that they are not influenced by market forces, which allows their film and art programming to be more esoteric. There's also The Projector – I really like the space it occupies between mainstream and arthouse. It functions almost as tastemakers, a diving board for Singaporean audiences to experience a broader range of cinema. Lastly, of course, is Singapore International Film Festival. The annual SGIFF has grown into such an important regional film festival and it always offers an amazing selection of movies, with something for everyone. Recommend 3 Singaporean movies made by f

It's probably too early to be discussing anything Halloween-related right now, but fans of Stranger Things would wanna scooch a lil closer. Universal Studios Singapore is partnering with Netflix for the first time to bring to life the award-winning supernatural television series at this year's edition of the scare festival. Make like Mike, Eleven and the gang as you walk through the Hawkins National Laboratory, the Byers' living room and, of course, the hair-raising Upside Down. Oh, and we hear the Demogorgon will be lurking around too – but keep those slingshots (or wrist-rockets) in your pockets, please. For a sneak peek of what's gonna go down this Halloween, check out the video below. Halloween Horror Nights return to Resorts World Sentosa from Sep 28 to Oct 31. Stay updated on its website.
