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: Pets & Plants Extravaganza

Calling all pet parents and plant lovers! Get ready for a unique lifestyle mashup at the Pets & Plants Extravaganza, taking over Urban Park at Guoco Tower!

This boutique-style fair is the ultimate destination for those who love stylish fur-friends and rare flora. Browse a curated selection of premium pet accessories, wholesome treats, and functional lifestyle products alongside exotic succulents and statement greenery from around the region.  Whether you’re looking for a free pet health scan, professional grooming advice, or tips from expert growers on how to cultivate your home garden, this pet-friendly oasis has it all.  Grab a coffee, bring your furkid along, and soak in the lush, city-center vibes!

Event Dates: 2 – 3 May 2026
Time: 11AM – 9PM
Location: Urban Park, Level 1 Guoco Tower


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. Witness high-energy lion and dragon dances, mesmerizing Chinese opera, and martial arts spectacles that bring the historic five-foot ways to life.  Feeling nostalgic? 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!

Event Dates: 25 April – 26 May 2026
Time: Weekend programming from 1pm
Location: Chinatown (Smith Street & Pagoda Street)


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.”

Event Dates: Now till 31 May 2026
Time: 9AM – 6PM
