Be sure to keep your nights free this August as the Singapore Night Festival returns for its 15th iteration from Aug 23 to Sep 7. That's right, you can enjoy art installations, experiential programmes and festival villages over three weekends this year.
From retro amusement parks to pinball machine-themed projection maps, here's what you can look forward to at Singapore Night Festival 2024.
WONDER WORLD - THE MACHINE OF NOSTALGIA
The highlight of this year's Singapore Night Festival is Wonder World, a magical amusement park that calls back to the ones from the 50s in Singapore. Relive the good ol' days and ponder how our heritage can apply to the future as you can go on rides and play at game stalls.
There'll also be a wrestling ring where festival-goers can witness a unique fusion between wrestling and poetry.
Do note that tokens are required to enter Wonder World.
Date: Aug 23 to 25, Aug 28 to Sep 1, Sep 4 to 7
Time: 7.30pm to 11pm
Venue: Cathay Green
Ticket: S$20 per set of 10 tokens for purchases from Jul 17 to Aug 17, S$25 per set of 10 tokens for purchases from Aug 18 to Sep 7.

PROJECTION MAPPINGS
Projection mapping displays have become a hallmark of the Singapore Night Festival, with previous years boasting eye-catching and thought-provoking animations. This year is no different with most of the action happening at CHIJMES.
The building will display four captivating works during the festival's duration: The pinball machine-themed Pinbola, the imagination-themed Play Downstairs, the fantastical Whimsical Odyssey and the joyful A Prototype Of Play.
This year also marks the first time that the Peranakan Museum is hosting a projection mapping work for the Singapore Night Festival. Created in collaboration with regional artists, Between Threads is inspired by elements from the Peranakan Museum’s collection and transforms through audience interactions, giving attendees multiple ways to appreciate the work.
