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: TLM Food Expo

🍜 Loosen your waistbands and get your shopping bags ready because Singapore’s ultimate air-conditioned feast, the TLM Food Expo 2026, is officially taking over the east for two massive, flavor-packed weekends! 🍱

Returning for its highly anticipated July edition, Hall 6A is turning into a massive culinary paradise featuring over 120 local and international exhibitors. Get ready to go on a sweeping gastronomic journey across Asia—taste your way through a dedicated Thai pavilion serving chewy pandan cakes (kanom krok bai toey) and fresh mango sticky rice, dive into a Taiwan zone loaded with peanut ice cream rolls and flaky sun cakes, and explore premium dried seafood treats straight from Hong Kong.

You can load up your basket with everything from home-grown charcoal-grilled bak kwa by Peng Guan to traditional herb-based wellness goodies and trendy plant-based staples. The best part? There are live cooking demonstrations, massive sampling sessions, and jaw-dropping expo-exclusive deals of up to 90% off! Early birds can also snag a free welcome goodie bag (limited to the first 500 visitors daily), so make sure to head down early with your favorite foodie crew. 🛍️🍢🧋

It is a completely welcoming space where everyone—of all ages and abilities—is invited to jump right into the art-making process.

Wander around the drop-in craft booths to design your own acrylic keychains, make suncatcher fans, or fashion a custom bag charm from fabric scraps. You can even leave your own mark on the festival by helping “grow” a massive community cardboard garden or contributing a portrait to a collaborative tapestry! Don’t leave without exploring Quiet Frequencies, a deeply moving group exhibition highlighting the paintings and sculptures of 34 emerging artists, or catching their vibrant lineup of live music, slam poetry, and immersive theatrical sets. 🎹🖼️🛍️

Believed to be Singapore’s oldest surviving Nasi Padang establishment, the heritage icon closed its doors in January after a legendary 78-year run—but they are making a exclusive comeback right here to serve up their signature Ayam Bakar, Beef Rendang, and Dendeng Balado.

Beside this massive reunion, you can feast your way through crowds of popular, top-tier eateries including the famous Haig Road Putu Piring and the heavy-hitting Two Men Bagel House.

🛍️ Treat yourself to a heavy dose of retail therapy and support local because a massive community pop-up is landing at the FOMO Weekend Market! 🧩✨🌱

Co-located alongside The Great Food Assembly and The Wedding Upmarket, this highly anticipated indoor fair is the ultimate hub for trendsetters, crafters, and independent brand enthusiasts. Step into the air-conditioned hall to discover an incredible curated marketplace loaded with one-of-a-kind treasures from dozens of local creators and small businesses.

Prepare to wander past vibrant booths showcasing everything from chic modest fashion and handmade jewelry to artisanal home decor, custom fragrances, and unique gifts. If you are feeling creative, you can even drop by interactive DIY stations to craft your own Italian charm bracelets, custom decoden mirrors, or floral lamps! It is the perfect, lively weekend destination to find things you won’t see in traditional malls, keep up with the latest independent trends, and escape the outdoor heat with your squad. 👗🕯️🎨
