The city’s prepping for the iconic Formula One Singapore Grand Prix weekend, and festival fever is everywhere.

Now, grab your calendars! Here are the can't-miss happenings today:

Singapore Design Week 2025 launches an epic four-district extravaganza, from Orchard to Marina, Bras Basah to Science Park. Today’s showstopper? The Unnatural History Museum of Singapore at the National Design Centre. It’s a playful, oddball spin on classic museums, boasting Merlion “fossils,” manta-droids, and singing robots. Yes, there’s a robot named Daisy serenading the crowds—this is engineering with extra sauce. Entry’s free until 9pm and you’ll leave with stories wilder than your uncle at a wedding.

Hungry for something sustainable yet a little weird? At Studio Carolien Niebling’s “The Sausage of the Future: Singapore Edition,” local chefs invent insane sausage combos—think wolf-herring wrapped in fish maw or rendang-spiced beef tongue. Foodies, this is a nosh safari you’ll brag about for years.

Meanwhile, the city’s prepping for the Singapore Grand Prix weekend and all the circuit-adjacent shenanigans. The AFTER 2049 electronic festival cranks out global acts, local DJ showcases, and promises glowy dance floors for everyone who needs to burn off their mooncakes.

On the family front, Sunshine Festival at Gateway Theatre is hyping up seniors and kids alike with sing-alongs, stretch sessions, puppetry, and tote-art workshops. Festival director Samantha Scott-Blackhall calls it a “joyful, purposeful” theatre blast—catch the Glowers Drama Group singing their hearts out before grandma does the splits.

Around the town, new restaurant buzz is everywhere—Kampong Glam and Tanjong Pagar are sizzling with fresh openings featuring fusion menus and zany drinks. MRT updates? Trains are packed and running smooth, so zip around the city without breaking a sweat.

If you’re itching for more, here’s today’s must-try line-up: Wander the Gardens by the Bay at sunset for a magical lantern display honoring Singapore’s evolving history, complete with giant Ang Ku Kueh Girl lanterns and mooncake medleys. Sneak into Bras Basah for secret pop-up art shows or test your riddle-solving smarts at the SCCCI’s preview for the Mid-Autumn Festival—correct answers earn festival swag!

Oly’s top tip—never underestimate the power of local hawker wisdom: A quick “Uncle, can add extra chilli?” will win hearts and maybe an extra scoop of sambal at Maxwell Food Centre.

Back to the crystal ball: Tomorrow, get pumped for more Grand Prix action, a preview of the Singapore Food Festival’s workshops, and cheeky scavenger hunts through Chinatown. Don’t miss it—the wildest, wisest, and wok-est adventures are coming your way!
