With rows upon rows of fairy lights, glittery baubles, and brilliant installations that will give Las Vegas a run for its money, Singapore is looking hella lit – albeit a quieter one – this festive season. But the sparklers at Orchard and Gardens by the Bay aren't the only ones grabbing our attention.
As the gift that keeps on giving, Downtown East is pulling out all the stops this festive season with multi-sensory light and art installations, as well as new retail, dining, and lifestyle venues to create more memorable moments with loved ones.
From now until March 21, the lifestyle destination illuminates for Lite On!, an arts programme that showcases four Instagram-worthy works by local artists Speak Cryptic, BOD, Space Objekt, and Shophouse & Co. These visually stimulating yet meaningful mixed-media pieces take inspiration from imagined landscapes, existing spaces, and everyday things. Take a sonic trip in a pyramid, walk through a kaleidoscopic tunnel, surround yourself with playful illustrations, and pop bubbles on the bubble-wrapped staircase.
Make the most of your trip to Downtown East with 12 new retail, entertainment, and F&B outlets, including heritage brands such as Redman by Phoon Huat, Fragrant Garden, and The Banana Leaf Apolo. And speaking of 12, it has also lined up $12 deals, starting from December 13 in a back-to-back 12-day lead up to Christmas. These deals include shopping, dining, and entertainment such as water park rides at Wild Wild Wet. You can also save on a relaxing staycation at D'Resort next year.
There are more things to get excited about too. Mark your calendar for the opening of Upwall Climbing on November 26, and Airzone in April 2021. Both the climbing centre and elevated playground are the latest of eight active-lifestyle tenants at Downtown East, including Singapore's largest indoor skating rink Hi-Roller. So you know where to go next when you're craving for some fun. For more information, visit downtowneast.com.sg.
