5 FREE WEEKEND ACTIVITIES TO DO IN SINGAPORE [24 - 25 JANUARY 2026]

5 FREE Activities to do in Singapore this Weekend (24 – 25 January 2026)

Wondering what to do this weekend? Here’s the SG Lifestyle Team’s weekly round-up of FREE WEEKEND ACTIVITES TO DO IN SINGAPORE (well, mostly free).

This includes a mixture of virtual/digital events/activities you can do at home, as well as physical events/places to visit/attend.


1) Visit: 2026:

Looking to expand this our horizons this weekend? Head over to SAM (Singapore Art Museum) for a three-day experimental takeover. This isn’t your average gig—expect a boundary-blurring mix of global sound artists, movement performances, and “deep listening” sessions that will change how you hear the world. Between sets, hit up the Memory Market to snag local designer goods and fuel up on artisanal eats. It’s the ultimate sensory overload in the best way possible.

Event Dates: 23 – 25 January 2026 (Fri to Sun)
Time: Various Timings
Location: SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark


2) Visit: Tim Food Expo

If your new resolution involved eating better (or just eating more), the TLM Food Expo is your first essential stop of 2026. This isn’t just a market; it’s a six-day celebration of all things delicious. Expect a curated mix of exciting new food start-ups and established crowd favorites. Our advice? Skip breakfast, wear your most comfortable shoes, and prepare for a serious session of “see it, sample it, buy it.”

Event Dates: 23 – 25 January 2026 (Fri to Sun)
Time: 11am – 9pm
Location: Singapore EXPO (Hall 6A)


3) Visit: Salt Tongues / Far Shores Near Art Exhibition

Calling all Japan lovers! You can travel from the mist-covered hills of Onomichi to the urban pulse of Singapore this weekend without leaving the gallery. This cross-cultural exhibition is a poetic look at the sea—viewing it not as a barrier, but as a bridge between two iconic port cities.

Moving beyond just visuals, Salt Tongues / Far Shores Near is a beautifully tactile experience that explores taste, touch, and sound. If you’ve been craving a trip to Japan, this “synaesthetic” journey is the perfect way to explore how two distant places can feel intimately connected through shared waters.

Event Dates: 20 January – 22 February 2026
Time: 12pm – 7pm (Tues – Sat) | 12pm -4pm (Sun)
Location: Objectifs Centre for Photography & Film | 155 Middle Road, Singapore 188977

Event Dates: Now till  – 15 February 2026
Time: 10am – 9.30pm

If you’ve seen those adorable, unbothered green dinosaurs all over your feed, now is your chance to meet them in person! The JOGUMAN Pop-Up has officially landed at Somerset 313, bringing a massive dose of “Bratty Studio” charm to Singapore.
