Powering Change: Singapore River Festival (SRF) 2025 Champions a Greener Experience
At SRF 2025, we are taking bold steps toward a more sustainable future. This year, selected events will be powered by clean energy batteries by GoRental – reducing our reliance on traditional generators and lowering our carbon footprint.
In partnership with Cinewav, a sync-audio mobile app that lets you tune in to immersive experiences like River of Dreams and our outdoor movie screening using your own headset. By cutting down on amplified sound systems, we’re not only reducing noise pollution but also conserving energy.
Together, these initiatives mark our commitment to a more conscious, eco-friendly festival – where innovation meets impact.

Beneath the vibrant pulse of the city, the historic bridges that arch over the shimmering Singapore River come alive with rich tales of history. Each bridge, a silent sentinel, whispers secrets of the past, serving as a tribute to the river’s storied origins. These bridges are powerful symbols of connection – bridging us to our roots, intertwining us with one another, and beckoning us toward the future. At night, the soft glow of illumination dances along the river, transforming the paths into a tapestry of light and life, inviting all to explore the Singapore River that vibrates with the energy of stories waiting to be discovered.
