Singapore Night Festival at Bras Basah Bugis precinct returns this year from 19 – 27 August 2022. Back for the first time in two years, the 13th edition of this annual festival aptly revolves around the theme “Rebirth” and onlookers can expect cool projection mappings, light art installations, live performances and general creativity and imagination.
This year there are over 55 exciting happenings to discover throughout this after dark festival including an exciting line-up of arts, heritage and cultural experiences alongside the food and shopping. It’s always a great gig with plenty to take in, so we recommend setting more than one night aside to enjoy all this illuminating festival has to offer. Here’s ANZA’s pick of some of the hightlights:
