This SG60, Mid-Autumn Festival at Gardens by the Bay pays tribute to how the festival has been celebrated through the years in Singapore – with beloved local character Ang Ku Kueh Girl™ as guide.
Join her and her friends Curry Puff Boy, Sugee Cake Girl and Roti Prata Boy as they take you through how the country has evolved from humble fishing village to high-rise HDB living through the illuminated beauty of large-scale lantern sets.
Don’t miss two special lantern displays that represent a beautiful celebration of international friendship. The Embassy of the Republic of Korea’s lantern commemorates 50 years of Singapore-Korea relations with the Merlion and Haetae – the latter a mythical guardian embodying justice and fairness. Shanghai’s YUYUAN Inc. – the company behind the iconic annual Yuyuan Lantern Festival in Shanghai – presents a lantern inspired by the Chinese tale Zhuangzi’s Dream of the Butterfly, in the 35th year of Singapore-China ties.
In addition to the lantern displays, visitors can look forward to an extensive lineup of cultural performances and workshops, as well as an array of delectable food and fun carnival games.
