S'pore Night Festival starts on Friday
The Singapore Night Festival returns this month with the largest ever arts and culture extravaganza.
The festival will be held on August 23-24 and August 30-31, from 7pm to 2am.
Festival-goers can look forward to an enthralling line-up of local and international art performances right in the heart of the city.
There will be an eclectic mix of aerial performances, art and light installations, roving acts and heritage-inspired programmes.
The event is the sixth and largest edition to date. It will stretch from Plaza Singapura to Raffles City.
On those four days, visitors will enjoy complimentary late night admission (7pm-2am) to the National Museum of Singapore, Singapore Art Museum and Peranakan Museum.
This year's festival also brings together over 40 partners from the Bras Basah-Bugis community to showcase the buzz, energy and vibrancy of Singapore's arts and heritage precinct.
This is more than twice the number in 2012.
Ms Angelita Teo, festival director and director of the National Museum of Singapore, National Heritage Board (NHB), said: "The Singapore Night Festival has grown to become a festival well-loved not just by Singaporeans, but also visitors to our shores.
"Months before, people had been asking for more information about the festival so we are very excited to present our largest festival, both in scale and content to all our local and foreign fans.
"For this, we have our partners of the Bras Basah-Bugis precinct to thank. All of your support has helped make the Singapore Night Festival an international event in its own right -- a fun, entertaining and show-stopping cultural display that we Singaporeans can be truly proud of."
