Singapore Night Festival 2025 (22 August – 6 September)

Details of Singapore Night Festival’s 2025 edition are now out! Singapore Night Festival, one of our Little Red Dot’s more anticipated art festivals, is back again in August for its 16th edition. The theme of Singapore Night Festival 2025 is the ‘Island Nights’. It is set to captivate festival-goers with an exploration of Singapore’s rich island heritage.

This edition of the Singapore Night Festival stretches over three weekends around Bras Basah.Bugis precinct. Besides festival favourites such as the projection mapping artworks and light installations that come alive after dark, the festival villages will also make a return with food and retail offerings. Look out for new highlights such as the captivating interactive ‘Sky Castle’ at Cathay Green. We’re also excited about ‘Kampong Chill’, a pavilion that acts as an oasis that stands out against the backdrop of the city.

Singapore Night Festival 2025 highlights:

1. Two new highlight experiences at SNF 2025

Over at Capitol Singapore, you’ll find Kampong Chill by artist duo Yok & Sheryo. It’s a pavilion that’s perfect for an after-work chill-out session.
