I Explored SIFA 2026 And Here’s What Completely Drew Me In

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,


There’s something quite magical about wandering through the city and suddenly stumbling into dancers suspended in the air, glowing mirrored rooms, giant colourful blocks, and strangers gathering together to simply… play.

That was exactly how my first look at Singapore International Festival of Arts 2026 felt.

Running from 15 to 30 May 2026, this year’s festival marks the beginning of SIFA’s journey towards its 50th anniversary, and the city is transforming into one giant artistic playground. Revolving around the theme “Let’s Play!”, this edition invites everyone — not just art lovers — to rediscover curiosity, imagination, wonder, and maybe even a little childlike joy again.

And after getting a preview of some of the installations and performances, I genuinely think this year’s lineup feels one of the most accessible and immersive yet. Whether you’re someone who regularly watches theatre productions or someone who simply enjoys discovering beautiful experiences around Singapore, there’s probably something here that’ll pull you in.


So… What Exactly Is SIFA?

For those unfamiliar, the Singapore International Festival of Arts 2026 has actually been around since 1959, evolving through different names and eras before becoming the SIFA we know today. But despite all the changes, its heart remains the same — celebrating storytelling through theatre, dance, music, performance, visual arts, and experimental experiences.

This year’s festival is directed by local playwright Chong Tze Chien, and the 2026 edition marks the beginning of a special three-year artistic journey leading towards SIFA’s golden jubilee.

The opening chapter, themed “Legacy”, reflects on how artists engage with heritage, memory, mortality, and the present moment — exploring how stories, emotions, and histories continue to shape the way we see the world today.

In 2027, SIFA will return to its beginnings with the theme “Roots”, honouring the pioneers and artistic voices that helped shape Singapore’s arts landscape while reconnecting audiences with the foundations that built the festival itself.

And looking ahead to 2028, “Renaissance” will celebrate reinvention and experimentation through bold hybrid forms, emerging voices, and new creative possibilities — exploring how tradition and the future can intersect to redefine the performing arts.

Rather than feeling overly formal or intimidating, this year’s direction feels intentionally playful and inviting. The festival seems less about “watching art from afar” and more about stepping inside it, interacting with it, and allowing yourself to feel something.


Heart of SIFA 2026 - The Festival Village

One of the main gathering points this year is the Festival Village at Empress Lawn, where performances, installations, music, food, and interactive experiences all come together in one vibrant space. Walking through the grounds almost feels like stepping into a little arts carnival — one filled with glowing installations, live performances happening unexpectedly around corners, interactive artworks, and spontaneous moments.

What I personally enjoyed was how relaxed and welcoming the entire atmosphere felt. Rather than the usual “quiet gallery” energy, SIFA 2026 feels intentionally open and communal, inviting people to wander, explore, interact, and discover things at their own pace.

And of course… there’s food too, because Singaporeans realistically cannot experience art on an empty stomach... There are food stalls and casual dining spots around the village serving everything from comforting noodle dishes inspired by local hotpot flavours to Western plates with Singaporean twists.

But the playful energy doesn’t just stay within the Civic District this year.

From the second weekend onwards, Nexus at Punggol Digital District will also transform into a Festival Play!Ground, bringing selected large-scale installations, roving performances, and interactive experiences closer to the heartlands.

Expect aerial performances that quite literally make you look up at the sky, hands-on workshops where you can explore the aerial nets and also join in the participatory parades filled with movement and music, and communal installations where everyone can contribute and create together.

There’s Tons To Explore At SIFA 2026

From large-scale parades and aerial performances to immersive installations and experimental theatre productions, there’s genuinely no shortage of things to experience at SIFA 2026. Beyond the Festival Village itself, the wider festival lineup stretches across theatres, public spaces, galleries, and performance venues around the Civic District and beyond.

Over at the Wayang Stage within the Festival Village, you can catch live performances such as Year Zero and Rupture while soaking in the lively atmosphere around Empress Lawn.

One of the more unique dining experiences this year has to be Makan Culture, where theatre and food come together in one interactive performance. For $20, you can watch, participate, and snack on local bites throughout the experience — and yes, tickets are redeemable using your SG Culture Pass too.

Outside the open-air festival grounds, there are also ticketed productions happening across various venues. These include Last Rites, a local cross-cultural theatrical work staged at SOTA Studio Theatre, as well as Hamlet, a powerful reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s classic performed by a company of actors with Down syndrome at the Drama Centre Theatre.

The full SIFA lineup can feel a little overwhelming at first glance. So here are some of the installations, performances, and experiences that personally stood out to me during the preview.

A Light Between Rains — A Moving Celebration Of Colour & Sound

One of the festival’s opening highlights is this vibrant travelling parade by Off Root Theatrics. GIant puppets, flowing costumes, rhythmic music, movement, colour, and performers will be weaving through the city as you follow alongside them from Esplanade Park towards the Festival Grounds.

It feels less like watching a parade and more like accidentally walking into a dream sequence. Join in the fun, dance to the music and interact with the performers! If you miss this during the opening weekend, the party will continue over at Punggol too!

A Light Between Rains

Date: 15 & 16 May 2026

Venue: Esplanade Park

The Lighthouse — One Of The Most Beautiful Installations This Year

This might honestly be one of my personal favourites.

Created by Australian theatre company Patch Theatre, The Lighthouse transforms light itself into storytelling. You move through rooms with astronauts, as they make contact with projections, reflections, music, shadows, and quiet moments of wonder.

At first glance, it may seem designed for children, but once you sit inside the space for awhile, something about it becomes unexpectedly emotional. There’s this strangely poetic feeling about slowing down inside a room filled with shifting light and sound,  almost like letting the visuals wash over you while the world outside temporarily disappears.

It felt calming, reflective, and quietly magical all at once. And yes… your inner child will absolutely come out here.

The Lighthouse
Admission: $28
Date: 15-17 & 20-24 May 2026
Time: Various timings
Venue: The Arts House at the Old Parliament

You Are (Not) What You Eat! — Beautiful, Fun… And Quietly Disturbing

At first glance, this installation by local artist Yang Derong feels colourful, playful, and almost candy-like. Then you realise the deeper message underneath it.

The installation explores how plastic consumption and waste have slowly become embedded into our everyday lives; even making their way back onto our plates through microplastics.

One section features a kaleidoscopic mirrored room that looks visually stunning on camera, but beneath all that beauty sits a rather unsettling truth. It’s one of those installations that looks aesthetically fun at first… before the message slowly sinks in afterwards. These are usually the artworks that stay with you the longest.

You Are (Not) What You Eat!
Admission: Free
Date: 15-30 May 2026
Time: 10am-10pm
Venue: Victoria Theatre Atrium

Noli Timere — An Aerial Performance

Noli Timere explores the beauty of body movement and aerial performance through dancers suspended eight metres above the ground against Singapore’s evening skyline.

Using massive woven nets as both stage and sculpture, the performers leap, drift, swing, and move in harmony mid-air, transforming the space into a living, breathing landscape of motion. With the city lights glowing behind them, the entire performance takes on an almost dreamlike quality. Even the kids were watching in awe, I have never seen such "peaceful" audiences before....

There’s something quietly mesmerising about watching the performers place such trust in one another while moving with incredible softness and fluidity high above the crowd. It’s probably one of the most visually striking experiences at this year’s festival.

Noli Timere
Admission: Free
Date: 15-17 May 2026
Time: 7.15pm & 9.15pm
Venue: Festival Village at Empress Lawn

Admission: Free
Date: 22-24, 28-30 May 2026
Time: Various timings
Venue: Punggol Digital District Campus Boulevard

Makan Culture — Theatre… But Make It Singaporean

Only in Singapore can you watch a theatrical performance while snacking on kaya toast and rojak — and honestly, that alone already deserves applause. Created by local playwright and actor Jo Tan, Makan Culture blends storytelling, humour, participation, local identity, and food into one delightfully interactive experience.

What I really loved was how intimate and approachable the whole setup felt. There wasn’t a huge elevated stage separating performers from the audience. Instead, the actors moved amongst us in a kopitiam-style setting, making everyone feel naturally part of the performance itself.

I genuinely had so much fun; not just watching the show unfold, but becoming part of the experience along the way. It’s funny, thoughtful, a little chaotic in the best possible way, and very Singaporean at its core.

Really! It’s a nice reminder that meaningful arts experiences don’t always need to feel overly formal, intimidating, or heavily ticketed inside grand theatres. Sometimes, quality performances can happen over local snacks, casual conversations, and a setting that feels comfortingly familiar. And what's better is that tickets are redeemable using your SG Culture Pass too!

Makan Culture
Admission: $20
Date: 15-17, 20-25 & 28-30 May 2026
Time: 6pm, 8pm, 10pm
Venue: Festival Village at Empress Lawn

Carousel — A Mirror World Under The Night Sky

If you enjoy immersive spaces and slightly trippy visuals, Carousel will probably end up being one of the most photographed installations at this year’s festival. The mirrored infinity structure creates endless reflections that seem to stretch upwards into the night sky, giving the entire space an almost futuristic and dreamlike atmosphere.

But Carousel isn’t just an installation to walk through, it also becomes a living performance space after dark. On selected weekend evenings, a new generation of artists from the University of the Arts Singapore transforms both the interior and exterior of the installation through a series of experimental micro-performances.

Against shifting reflections, glowing lights, surrounding trees, and the open sky, these emerging performers interact with the space in unexpected ways, turning Carousel into something constantly evolving throughout the night. Come stumble into this surreal little world where light, movement, reflections, and performance all blur together.

Carousel
Admission: Free
Date: 15-30 May 2026
Time: 10am-10pm
Venue: Esplanade Park

Next Gen Showcase
Admission: Free
Date: 15-17, 20-24 & 28-30 May 2026
Time: 7.30pm, 8.30pm & 9.30pm
Venue: Esplanade Park

The Blocks — Chaos, Creativity & Pure Play Energy

This interactive installation invites you to rearrange giant colourful blocks into your very own little structures, spaces, or mini Kampongs.

It sounds simple… but once people start interacting with it, you’ll realise how quickly adults become competitive architects. There’s something really nice about seeing strangers collaborate, children freely experimenting, and people simply creating for fun without overthinking it.

Which honestly feels very aligned with this year’s “Let’s Play!” theme.
There's also a contest going on to win a 3D2N staycation at Lyf Hotel in Singapore.

What I personally enjoyed most about this year’s Singapore International Festival of Arts 2026 is how approachable it feels.

You don’t need to “understand art” perfectly.
You don’t need to dress a certain way.
You don’t need to attend every ticketed performance.

Sometimes, simply wandering through the installations, sitting quietly inside a room filled with light, or watching strangers pause together beneath an aerial performance is already enough.

And perhaps that’s the beauty of SIFA this year.

It reminds us that art doesn’t always need to be intimidating.
Sometimes it can simply be playful, emotional, immersive, and human.

Honestly, I’d recommend setting aside at least one evening to slowly explore the Festival Village and surrounding installations. Don’t rush it. Let yourself wander a little.

You might unexpectedly leave feeling inspired too.

This HeritageFest Experience Made Me See Clifford Pier Differently

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,

There’s something oddly emotional about standing in a place you thought you knew… only to realise how many stories were quietly hidden beneath it all.

I recently attended the exclusive preview of Port of Dreams, one of the signature experiences under Singapore HeritageFest 2026, and when I thought it was a guided heritage walk, it turned out to be instead was a beautifully immersive journey through memory, migration, and Singapore’s maritime past.

Set around The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore which used to be the historic Clifford Pier, Port of Dreams transforms the waterfront into a living stage taking audiences through a theatrical journey inspired by Singapore’s maritime history. Instead of sitting in a theatre, we moved through the waterfront itself while stories unfolded around us.

As we wandered through the beautifully preserved spaces of the former Clifford Pier, actors emerged from corners of the hotel grounds portraying figures from Singapore’s past — a Straits-born merchant, a Tamil dock worker, a Malaccan fisherman, and a Chinese immigrant. 


Together with movement performers, they recreated fragments of life from Singapore’s bustling port days, turning the waterfront into a living memoryscape.

I vaguely remember the old Clifford Pier area before the transformation into today’s modern Fullerton Bay district, but I never truly understood how important this place once was. Watching these stories unfold while standing beside the river made me realise how many arrivals, departures, reunions, sacrifices, and dreams once passed through this very waterfront.


One detail that stayed with me throughout the night was the iconic red lanterns lining the waterfront.

At first, they simply looked beautiful against the evening skyline. But during the performance, we learnt how these lanterns once served as a symbolic marker for arriving travellers. Seeing the warm red glow meant you had finally docked at Clifford Pier. Suddenly, those lanterns no longer felt decorative, they became emotional landmarks tied to memory, homecoming, and arrival.

And that’s what I loved most about Port of Dreams. It didn’t feel like sitting through a history lesson. It felt like wandering through someone else’s memories with the entire experience blurring the lines of  theatre, heritage, movement, and storytelling into something surprisingly intimate and poetic.

This is just one glimpse of what Singapore HeritageFest 2026 has planned this year, but honestly, if you only have time to experience one programme from the festival, Port of Dreams feels like the one to prioritise. Especially for younger Singaporeans who may never have known Clifford Pier before its transformation into the Fullerton Bay area, this experience becomes a rare chance to reconnect with a forgotten chapter of our city’s identity and rediscover the stories once anchored along these waters.

Beyond Port of Dreams, what makes Singapore HeritageFest 2026 feel especially exciting this year is how the festival goes far beyond the usual “look at old photos and read information panels” type of heritage experience. Instead, many of the programmes are designed to let people actively step into Singapore’s maritime past through theatre, movement, food, music, crafts, workshops, and even actual journeys across the water.

One programme I’m genuinely curious about is A Bump Through Time, which is also Singapore HeritageFest’s first-ever theatrical bumboat experience. Instead of just riding along the Singapore River, participants can become part of an interactive storytelling journey through Clarke Quay and Marina Bay, uncovering how trade, migration, and river life shaped Singapore’s early identity.It sounds like the kind of experience where history suddenly feels cinematic rather than textbook.

For those who enjoy uncovering hidden stories, SHIPPED: Memoirs from Our Maritime World explores Southeast Asia’s maritime archaeology through underwater discoveries and submerged artefacts, revealing how much history still lies beneath our surrounding waters. It’s a reminder that Singapore’s relationship with the sea stretches far beyond modern container ports and skylines.

From Port to Plate.

There are also programmes that explore how maritime trade quietly shaped our everyday culture and food traditions today. From Port to Plate traces the evolution of Singapore’s hawker culture through family-friendly interactive trails, while workshops like the Kway Guan Huat Joo Chiat Popiah Workshop allow participants to learn traditional techniques passed down through generations. 

Spice to Meet You!

Even Scents of the Nusantara takes a creative approach by letting visitors craft perfumes inspired by spices, woods, florals, and ingredients historically traded across Southeast Asian ports.

(Image Credit: Singapore HeritageFest 2026)

Meanwhile, festival hub HOMEGROUND @ ACM Green sounds like it’s going to become one of the main gathering spaces throughout the festival period. Set against the waterfront beside the Asian Civilisations Museum, the space brings together exhibitions, performances, workshops, food experiences, and craft showcases inspired by Singapore’s maritime roots and migration stories. Apparently, the programmes rotate weekly too, so every visit offers something slightly different.

(Image Credit: Singapore HeritageFest 2026)

Running from 1 to 24 May 2026, this year’s edition with over 100 programmes islandwide - including immersive tours, theatrical experiences, workshops, exhibitions, guided trails, performances, and family-friendly activities, the Singapore HeritageFest 2026 is definitely something to get your May filled with.

And if when attending these programmes, keep an eye out for Pitta, the SHF 2026 mascot, across the island and snap a photo to share on Instagram with @sgheritagefest, #SGHeritageFest, #SHF2026 and #ISeaYou for a chance to win a limited-edition SHF keepsake at HOMEGROUND.

Armenian Street Party 2026: A Peranakan Gathering of Food, Culture and Stories

Hi Huneybees,


If you love food, culture, music, and a little bit of mystery, Armenian Street is about to become one of the most exciting places to be this March.

The beloved Armenian Street Party is returning for its 10th edition from 13 to 15 March 2026, and this year’s celebration promises to be bigger, livelier, and more immersive than ever. Organised by the Peranakan Museum, the annual festival transforms the historic street into a vibrant cultural playground filled with performances, art, workshops, games, and of course... delicious Peranakan food!

It will be a giant Peranakan gathering where stories, flavours, and traditions come together for three festive nights!

A Festival Where Culture Comes Alive

Walking along Armenian Street during the festival will feel like stepping into a colourful living tapestry of Peranakan heritage. You can expect lively performances, interactive experiences, and community collaborations that celebrate the many influences that shape Peranakan culture today.

According to Clement Onn, Director of the Asian Civilisations Museum and Peranakan Museum, the Armenian Street Party is designed to bring people together through shared experiences - from food and fashion to storytelling and craft workshops.

One of the most eye-catching highlights this year is “Threads of Gathering,” a striking 3.5-metre art installation by Singapore mixed-media artist Dawn Koh. Set right in front of the museum façade, the installation features colourful motifs of butterflies, birds and peacocks that are symbols of transformation and connection. You can even contribute to the artwork, turning it into a collaborative piece that evolves throughout the festival!



Aunty Lee’s Deadly Delights

A Delicious Mystery Inspired by Aunty Lee

One of the most playful highlights this year takes inspiration from Mediacorp’s English drama “Aunty Lee’s Deadly Delights.”

Fans of the show will get the chance to step into the world of Rosie “Aunty” Lee - the Peranakan restaurant owner and amateur sleuth who solves neighbourhood mysteries. Step inside the museum’s Ixora Room, where you can test your detective instincts through a mystery-solving pop-up experience. Crack the clues and you might even walk away with an exclusive blind box!

Adding to the excitement, the show’s cast - Vernetta Lopez, Pierre Png, Norman Ishak, Alawdin Ali, Sheryl Ang and Erika Maguicay, will be making appearances throughout the festival.

And because this is a Peranakan celebration after all, there will also be live cooking demonstrations, including a special session where the cast teams up with Peranakan chef Nyonya Shirley Tay of Dapor Diva to cook the iconic dish ayam buah keluak.

Now that’s a cooking show worth watching ~~~

Food, Kueh, and More Food

No Peranakan celebration would be complete without incredible food.

Throughout the festival, Armenian Street will be filled with tempting aromas from culinary pop-ups and live demonstrations.  Youcan catch renowned chefs and community cooks sharing recipes and stories behind traditional dishes passed down through generations.

One of the most charming food experiences this year is “Kueh & Kopi: A Kueh Picnic.” Guests can gather with friends to enjoy a specially curated box of colourful kueh created by chefs from the Allspice Institute, paired with drinks from suns Living Room. The picnic set even comes with exclusive Peranakan Museum merchandise which makes a sweet little souvenir from the celebration.

Elsewhere along the street, food trucks and dessert stalls will keep hungry visitors happy. Old Chang Kee’s “O’ My Darling” food truck will be serving up local favourites, while the Sweet Spot dessert pop-up offers traditional Peranakan sweets that bring back nostalgic flavours of home.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also join cooking demonstrations featuring dishes from different cultural communities - from Arab okra stew to banana-tree inspired culinary creations.



Pantun Pinch! with Baba Gabra

Dress Up, Play Games and Learn Baba Malay

Beyond food and performances, the Armenian Street Party also offers plenty of interactive experiences that make the festival feel like a giant cultural playground.

You can slip into colourful kebayas and batik outfits at the Baba Nyonya Dress-Up booth, strike a pose, and print out the photo as a keepsake.

If you’re curious about language and poetry, members of Baba Gabra will be creating personalised pantuns — traditional Baba Malay poems — on the spot, complete with English translations.
