VIVOCITY Sets New Record For Largest Display Of Hand-Painted Lanterns

Hi Huneybees,

How was your Mid-Autumn Festival Weekend? Last night some record breaking was done in Vivocity. They have set a new record in the Singapore Book of Records for the largest display of hand-painted lanterns. Shoppers gathered at the VivoCity rooftop Amphitheatre for two hours to collectively hand-paint a total of 568 lanterns in a spectacular display of light and colour.

This is the seventh year that VivoCity has included a record-setting event as part of its annual Mid-Autumn celebrations. In the past, VivoCity has set records for feats such as “Most Number of Signatures on a Lantern” and “The Largest Display of Floating Lanterns” (I attended that. Click on the link to read about it). This year, lantern-painting was chosen to encourage participation, by allowing shoppers to display their creativity and artistic expression through personalised lanterns.

“I enjoy painting, but most importantly I’m here to spend time with my grandchildren. This is the fourth time we are celebrating Mid Autumn Festival at VivoCity. We come back yearly as we enjoy the performances and the energy of the crowd. The atmosphere is very festive.” --- Ms Rosie Tan, 68

Throughout the lantern-painting and festivities, shoppers were entertained by live performances. In addition to partaking in a record-setting milestone, the first 1,500 shoppers who registered received a goodie bag consisting of vouchers and gifts. Lucky shoppers also won prizes from the lucky draw conducted at the event.

So how did your celebration go?

Vivocity sets the record for The Largest Display of Floating Lanterns

Hi Huneybees,

The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed and I was so glad I could be part of a record setting event on the eve of it. It was held at VivoCity and it was recorded into the Singapore Book of Records.

Check out the crowd that day!

Singapore’s largest lifestyle and retail destination, VivoCity, commemorated the popular Mid-
Autumn Festival by successfully setting an entry into the Singapore Book of Records together
with its shoppers.

Entertaining performances by National Arts Council.

Shoppers were given the chance to participate in the record-breaking event by registering their interest at any of the mall’s Customer Service Counter between 31 August and 29 September and performers from the National Arts Council entertained participants. 20 participants also got to walk off with OSIM products.

Such sweet moments....

Held at the Amphitheatre, the mall brought together 1388 shoppers who set afloat lanterns at the wading pool area to establish the new record for "The Largest Display of Floating Lanterns."

It's time to collect our lanterns.

The event provided a spectacle of lights and colour complementing the festive mood among
the crowd. Officials from the Singapore Book of Records verified the record entry during the
event.

The Largest Display of Floating Lanterns for the Mid-Autumn Festival at VivoCity

Hi Huneybees,

Thank goodness, the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival is finally behind us! 

With its passing comes one of my favourite festival of the year - the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the time where Chinese would eat a sweet traditional pastry called the Moon Cake and enjoy family/friend time together by visiting places, which would dress up with many colourful lanterns to welcome the Mid-Autumn.

Singapore’s largest retail and lifestyle destination, VivoCity is one such place I would visit with my family and friends during this Mid-Autumn festival.  

VivoCity will usher in its 6^th Mid-Autumn Festival by bringing its shoppers together on 29^th September to set a new record with The Largest Display of Floating Lanterns in the Singapore Book of Records. Admission to the event is free.
