Christmas Wonderland, Singapore’s much-loved annual yuletide fair, is back for its 11th edition, packed with new immersive experiences and enchanting displays for all ages. Taking place from November 29, 2024, to January 1, 2025, at Gardens by the Bay, this year’s fair promises more lights, festive performances, and holiday magic than ever before!

Presented by Trip.com and organized by Blue Sky Events, the festival lets you experience “snowfall” in the tropics with Blizzard Time, featuring a brand-new, heartwarming soundtrack, Magic of Christmas, by local composer-conductor Dr. Darius Lim. As you stroll through the Gardens, enjoy a majestic 20-meter-tall Spalliera light display, inspired by Italian Gothic architecture, adding a touch of timeless beauty to the setting.

“As the biggest yuletide event in Singapore, Christmas Wonderland has been spreading festive cheer to over 5 million people since our first event in 2014. This year, we look forward to welcoming new and returning visitors to Gardens by the Bay, where they can enjoy a fantastic atmosphere and experience spectacular light displays which are more immersive than ever, along with our signature attractions Blizzard Time, more festive performances including festive flash mobs, and carnival games that are bound to get them in a celebratory mood this Christmas.” --- Kevin Soh, Director of Blue Sky Events.

This year’s Christmas Wonderland offers an incredible array of photo opportunities around Supertree Grove, with four times more light displays than previous years. Look out for larger-than-life Ornament Balls, and a fun giant Ice Skate display for all your holiday snaps.

Don’t miss the trio of adorable Merry Bears on the Lawn, the tallest standing nearly six meters, and the enchanted walk through Bluebell Lane’s light-filled forest. Over at Merry Lane, you’ll find mesmerizing displays like the 50-meter-long Walk of Lights tunnel presented by Trip.com, and for a touch of classic elegance, the Swan Lake-inspired Odette’s Dance, where swan displays and multimedia come together for a spectacular show.

So Many Instagram Worthy Spots At This Year's Singapore Garden Festival 2018

Hi Huneybees,

Over the weekend, we were at Gardens by the Bay for the 7th edition of Singapore Garden Festival 2018. Being Asia’s premier tropical garden and flower show, there were more than 70 garden and floral displays at The Meadow, Flower Dome and the Supertree Grove, displaying a fiesta of creations from the world's top award-winning garden and floral designers. 

There were many different spots this year that covers most part of the garden and this year, they even had buggy rides together with drinks and food stalls scattered along the grounds. It is a very nice touch of addition to the weather was a killer this year. It seems to be so much warmer than previous years and even though I was dressed as cooling as possible, I was still melting and perspiring uncontrollably.

Stepping into the SGF grounds, we were welcomed at a beautiful tent area that houses the 13 Floral Windows to the World where colourful and vibrant cut-flower displays and floral masterpieces with stunning set design and lighting by notable floral designers from around the world are displayed. 

There's also the new non-competitive Floral Windows to the World Installation featuring a kaleidoscopic display of blooms created by Natasha Lisitsa and Daniel Schultz, Best of Show (Floral Windows to the World) designers for SGF 2016. It gives so many ideas to how we can introduce greenery into our living space and how much floral can brighten and be manipulated.

We spent the most time at the 13 Fantasy and Landscape Show Gardens for the top award-winning 80 sqm creations gardening luminaries from around the world (Australia, France, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, United Kingdom and the United States of America) got us snapping photos away. 

Every creation is a gorgeous Instagram worthy photo and the one we loved the most is the Precious Land by Tom Massey (UK) where the landscape turns from day till night with a glowing sun and dark waters to represent Singapore's vulnerability towards warmer climate change and the threat of rising sea water levels.

The main event has got to be the Orchid Extravaganza in the Flower Dome. Not only do you get to hide from the sweltering heat, you can also get to check out the world's largest family of flowering plants, Singapore's heritage - Orchids in full bloom.

 

There are countless species of orchids gathered here and every corner in this dome, makes a great backdrop (*except for the busy crowds) for your selfies, especially when this year’s orchid display is creatively conceived by award-winning Singaporean filmmaker Royston Tan.

Huge beaded Nyonya beaded shoes accompanied the orchids with Singapore's signature Peranakan shophouses in the back, welcomes the tourists to our strong Asian heritage and culture. It's as though Emerald Hill was shifted right into the dome...

Of course there are other places to explore too, like the 8 Balcony Gardens that features colourful and inspirational displays for home and apartment owners. Visitors can see how these designers transform 3m by 3m spaces into a soothing retreat. 

The new ASEAN Garden - a special feature to mark Singapore’s chairmanship of ASEAN in 2018, showcasing a myriad of colourful blossoms symbolic of Southeast Asian nations, including lotuses, hibiscuses and orchids, just to name a few. NParks also displayed a series of gardens with different themes featuring plants such as fragrant flowering edibles and plants with visually cool colours and pleasant scents.

If you are keen in learning more about gardening or learn some greenry tips, there is also the Learning Garden, displays by the Floral Designers Society (Singapore), Singapore Penjing & Stone Appreciation Society and Singapore Gardening Society, as well as various educational talks.

So, come on down to the Gardens by the Bay before it ends. Not only does it make a good spot for photography, you can also soak up the sun and breathe in some fresh air. It's nice to take a stroll amongst the greenery, admired the beautiful and colourful flowers, spot some pretty dragonflies & butterflies, whilst picking up some tips on how we can introduce green ecosystem into our homes...

The Singapore Garden Festival 2018 is till 3 August and tickets can be purchased from the Gardens by the Bay Ticketing Hub as well as from www.gardensbythebay.com.
