Spanning 16 nights and completely free to enter, this year's programme draws on myths, legends and folklore from Singapore and across Southeast Asia, bringing stories of the Merlion, Sang Kancil and La Galigo to life through large-scale installations, live performances and immersive experiences.
Three Highlights Not to Miss
A standout is Tales of Earth and Sea, which turns the façade of the National Museum into a giant animated canvas celebrating regional folklore. Keep an eye out for the mysterious Birdmen, too, as the flock of towering winged creatures roams the festival grounds.
You can also step back into 14th-century Singapore at Fort Canning Park on a 70-minute archaeological journey that uncovers the forgotten myths and stories hidden beneath Bukit Larangan (Forbidden Hill), where former Malay kings and rulers were believed to be buried.
