You never need an excuse to shop on Orchard Road, but this July, you'll get even more. Running from July 4 to 26, the Singapore Retail Festival returns with islandwide promotions and experiences. But from July 4 to 19, make a beeline for the Festival Grounds at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, where three themed weekends bring their own lineup of shopping, interactive experiences and activities that'll tempt you to stay a little longer after you've ticked everything off your shopping list.
Kick things off with Pets and Pawrents from July 4 to 5, where you can browse 30 retail booths before treating your furry companion to grooming sessions, picking up practical first-aid tips at the Pet Hospital, snapping adorable keepsakes at the Pawtography station, and even taking home a personalised caricature of your furkid.
The following weekend from July 10 to 12 is a must for gamers and collectors. Expect 34 retail booths, an Exclusive Card Showcase, high-stakes TCG tournaments on July 11 and 12, and a cosplay competition on July 12 that's sure to bring plenty of fan-favourite characters to life.
Finally, wind down with Lifestyle and Wellness from July 17 to 19, where you can shop wellness brands, browse the 818 Bloom pop-up store by G-Dragon, add a little sparkle with hair tinselling or extensions at the Beauty Bar, and let the little ones enjoy dedicated workshops while you enjoy a stress-free browse.
Can't make it on the weekends? The fun doesn't stop there. Weekdays still offer retail booths and food vendors, making it easy to pop by after work for a little retail therapy. Find out more here.
