Experience the magic of the Singapore River Festival 2024, where this year’s theme, ‘Lights and Colours’, promises to be bigger and more dazzling than ever!

This year’s festival will feature a wide range of exciting events, including mesmerising light shows on iconic bridges, music performances on river cruises, pet-friendly activities, heritage games, and scenic night walks. Celebrating Singapore’s rich cultural heritage, the festival offers a perfect blend of food, entertainment, and history along the vibrant riverside districts of Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, and Robertson Quay.

Themed ‘River of Lights and Colours’, the festival showcases the city’s iconic heritage bridges through stunning light displays:

The festival offers food tours, workshops, and exclusive promotions, including the popular Taste of the Quays tour. Participants will savour local delights like Fu Lin’s Signature Yong Tau Foo, Rendezvous Hock Lock Kee’s Nasi Padang, and Dopa Dopa’s nut-based gelato.
