2) Visit: Five Footway Festival

Experience the vibrant history of Singapore’s early immigrants as Smith Street and Pagoda Street transform into a bustling 1900s streetscape.

Try your hand at traditional childhood games like chapteh and hopscotch, or join a hands-on workshop to learn tea appreciation, wife cake making, and even Beijing opera makeup. Whether you’re exploring the free heritage exhibitions or snacking on old-school street food, it’s the perfect cultural escape for the whole family!

3) Visit: Sentosa’s “Letters from the Heart”

Share the love with Sentosa’s “Letters from the Heart” campaign! Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor, head over to the Sentosa Sensoryscape to pick up a limited-edition postcard and pen a message to your future self or a loved one.

This heartwarming initiative is all about celebrating “micro-restorations”—taking a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the island’s beauty.  To make your note extra special, look for the designated embossed stamp station at the Sensoryscape, which is completely FREE for everyone to use! It’s the perfect way to capture a core memory and send a piece of paradise across the miles (or just across the island). Don’t miss this chance to turn your island escape into a lasting connection!

If you don’t have your own stationery, you can pick up a limited-edition postcard on-site (available for purchase) to complete your “Letter from the Heart.”
