The 12-day full-filled carnival (27 May – 7 June 2023) will see the Hub transformed into a marvellous playground where families, young and old, can inspire, nurture and build a Tampines community that is Made For Families. This is one of the exciting line-up of family bonding activities organised in conjunction with the Ministry of Social and Family Development dedicating 2023 as the Year of Celebrating Social Service Partners.

Families play an important role in our lives and OTH is reaching out to families and Hub visitors through an exciting lineup of fun-filled activities, community engagements and programmes that will help build a family-centric neighourhood built for and by residents.

OTH will be partnering with families, residents, artists, and community partners to explore family-centric activities and programmes focusing on the arts, community & lifestyle, and sports. These are some of the highlights of the festival:

• Eight super-sized inflatable artworks titled ORGANS – inspired by the creative designs of local artist Angie Seah and 900 young children who took part in several art workshops (from November 2022 to March 2023) to create these inflatable artworks – some measuring up to 20 metres by 15 metres.

• Other artworks include SHARED SCREEN by Vertical Submarine – inspired by the love of the google box and the role it played in the early 1960s and UNTITLED – a chilled-out zone by Randy Chan inspired by the vegetation at the Tampines Eco Green Park, and HALAMAN AKSARA by Noor Iskandar – an image making and photo work inspired by the alumini of Tampines Junior College.

• The public can also join in several art workshops – Texture and Shapes (30 May – 2 June, 9.30am – 12.30pm) inspired by Chng Siok Tin’s Man and Environment to learn more about shapes and texture. This workshop is held in collaboration with National Gallery Singapore.
