It’s those times when the museums come alive at night. Fancy “Night at the Museums” when the statues and animals come alive? Nay, no such luck.
For the past several years, I have always made it a point to visit the Singapore Night Festival, although I didn’t fancy having to manoeuvre my way in the crowds. However, how could I miss the chance to watch rare performances – like aerobatics performances, dances with fire and visit the museums late at night – especially when these are free-of-charge.
The Singapore Night Festival is happening over two weekends – 19 August to 20 August 2016 and 26 August and 27 August 2016. This year’s theme is Inventions and Innovations. What type of performances are up this two weekends? Check it out from the official Singapore Night Festival Website.
If you have time for just five events over the two weekends, which five should you see? These are the five free events that I definitely would not want to miss.
