Singapore HeritageFest 2025 highlights living traditions this May

The Singapore HeritageFest 2025 will run from May 1 to May 25, featuring over 100 programmes across the island. Organised by HeritageSG, it focuses on celebrating Singapore’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.

This year’s SG60 edition highlights a wide range of cultural practices, with events such as workshops, tours, and exhibitions that explore community traditions, performing arts, crafts, food heritage, and nature-based knowledge.

Over 90 partners, including cultural practitioners and heritage businesses, will collaborate on various activities, including Out of the Red Box – a showcase blending Chinese opera and getai (songs on stage), and the Creative Hub @ Peranakan Museum, which offers hands-on heritage workshops where participants can learn heritage practices such as jamu-making, flower garland tying, and more.

Festival-goers can also engage in traditional craft sessions – for instance Rattan Knot Weaving x anothersole and Making Traditional Lanterns, explore food heritage through events like the Nasi Ulam crafting workshop and learning about the history of bak kut teh, and immerse in local performing arts.

A key feature of SHF 2025 is the return of signature programmes such as Homeground and Ride & Discover, which bring heritage to public spaces.

Registration for the events is open now.
