300 lanterns on display at Gardens by the Bay for Mid-Autumn Festival
Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations are in full swing.
At Gardens by the Bay, 50 life-size goat lanterns were on display in celebration of SG50 and the year of the goat. The goat lanterns were made by more than 200 residents who took part in a lantern painting competition last Sunday.
The top design won a prize of S$2,000 for its intricate design. Second and third place winners bagged prizes of S$1,000 and S$500, while five consolation awards of S$100 each were given out.
Labour chief and Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Chan Chun Sing was at the event on Sunday evening (Sep 27). He enjoyed a traditional Chinese tea ceremony which was part of the Food Street, another festival highlight where visitors could enjoy local delicacies from about 30 different stalls.
Besides the goats, there were about 300 lanterns in various shapes like trees, flowers and even dinosaurs, all handmade by master craftsmen from the Zigong province in Sichuan, China.
The public can enjoy these for free until the festival ends on Oct 4.
