The Singapore Food Festival (SFF) will return for its 32nd edition from September 4 to 24, 2025, marking more than 30 years of events highlighting the country’s food culture. Ahead of the festival, a series of activities will offer previews of what visitors can expect.
The 2025 theme, Have You Eaten Yet?, reflects the role of food in connecting people, especially in Asian cultures where care is often shown through sharing meals rather than words. The festival will feature over 15 events, including three Signature Events, three Pop-up Events, seven Unique Events, SG60 Specials, and online activities. Its central hub, Mise en Place at Dempsey Hill, will be open to the public and showcase a range of experiences combining food, culture and lifestyle.
Mise en Place will also host Zumbo Desserts, led by celebrity chef Adriano Zumbo, marking the brand’s debut in Asia. The festival will focus on Singapore’s food heritage and innovation in celebration of SG60. Fashion curator Daniel Boey will contribute by integrating fashion and food in one of the festival’s showcases.
The Signature Events include Long Table, a communal dining experience combining food with storytelling and theatre; Food Is Art, which pairs dessert chefs, mixologists and artists to explore food as visual art; and Future Food, highlighting food innovation through tastings and demonstrations.
Pop-up Events will bring food experiences to various parts of Singapore, including food truck tours and heritage walks. Unique Events aim to create immersive food experiences by combining culinary arts with other creative fields.
SG60 Specials will honour Singapore’s culinary history with contemporary interpretations. The festival will also engage international audiences through online and social media content. Over 50 affiliate partners will offer additional curated experiences across the city.
In July, the Singapore Food Stories digital series will share personal accounts and recipes from Singaporeans, emphasising the cultural and emotional significance of food.
Chinatown Complex Food Centre will be the festival’s Heritage Hawker Partner. The centre, located in central Singapore, houses 226 stalls and is known for its traditional dishes passed down through generations. From September 4 to 24, it will host events under the banner of SFF 2025, highlighting the role of hawkers in preserving local food culture through the concept A Taste of Time, which focuses on craft, community and continuity.
