It’s time to set sail with Singapore HeritageFest as it returns for its 23rd edition, featuring over 100 islandwide programmes that celebrate our maritime history. This year’s theme, Sail the Currents that Shape Us, explores our nation’s connection to the sea and the communities around it. Discover everything from exhibitions and cultural performances to workshops and guided tours that look at both the future of our ports and the seafaring traditions of the past.
Its signature programme, HOMEGROUND, is back at ACM Green every Friday and Saturday throughout the festival duration. The lawn transforms into a vibrant marketplace with retail, food, drinks and family-friendly activities. Look forward to a series of folk art performances, movie screenings, and drop-in sessions where you can learn Indian block printing and calligraphy, and make your own batik carabiners. Elsewhere around the island are maritime-themed music showcases, a bus tour into PSA Singapore’s container terminals, and a behind-the-scenes look at Singapore’s last remaining fishery port. There’s also A Bump Through Time, a theatrical bumboat experience that weaves stories about trade and migration as you ride along the Singapore River.
Check out the full festival lineup here, from free events to registered sessions.
