FREE Aerial Acrobatics Show, Mirror Carousel & More At SIFA 2026 This May

The Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) is back, and it’s easily one of our favourite annual events that’s packed with family-friendly programmes.

Over at the SIFA Festival Village, there’ll be a Festival Market where you can fuel up on yummy grub for the evening. Here is where you can experience Noli Timere, an exclusive first‑weekend aerial acrobatics performance, featuring captivating acts suspended by nets. Also happening over the first weekend is ‘A Light Between Rains’, an interactive roving parade where you can join in on the fun! The Carousel will also surely catch your eye. You are invited to explore this open chamber made of mirrored surfaces that doubles as a performance space. You can also stack, balance, connect and rearrange the colourful blocks to build a village of your own at The Blocks!

If you can’t keep yourself away from immersive art installations with mesmerising lights, then we highly recommend checking out The Lighthouse ($28/entry). It comprises a series of interconnected rooms, each one giving you a different experience with light, sound, perspective and reflection. From here, take a short stroll over to Victoria Theatre Atrium for You Are (Not) What You Eat!, a colourful, glowing food-themed installation that spotlights our favourite local cuisine.
