Doing good feels even better when there’s fun involved. Marina Bay Sands’ Sands for Singapore Charity Festival returns for its 11th edition with a three-day celebration at the Event Plaza from September 5 to 7.
The well-loved Giving Marketplace is back, featuring 16 non-profits and small local businesses where you can shop home-baked pastries, handcrafted bags, crocheted accessories and more. Over at Play for a Cause, try your hand at mega-sized interactive games and create virtual food bundles – with each successful play, Marina Bay Sands will pledge a real food bundle to The Food Bank Singapore. Foodies can also tuck into affordable bites from pop-ups by Black Tap, Bread Street Kitchen, Origin + Bloom and Rise.
The festival isn’t just about shopping and eating either. There’ll be a line-up of live performances, with local artist Glenn Yong headlining the opening night, alongside local bands 53A, Supersonic and Jive Talkin’ who’ll be playing the tunes all day and all night.
