Welcome to Things to Do in Singapore! Today’s date is Saturday, September 13, 2025, and let me tell you: the Lion City is absolutely buzzing. The afternoon sun is out, humidity’s hugging you like a long-lost auntie at an HDB reunion, and the only thing hotter than the weather is the weekend calendar—so get ready to dive in, Oly Bennet style!

Picture this: you step outside and the whole city is serving up a feast for the senses. Street vendors lure you with whiffs of laksa, air-conditioned malls beckon with sales, and wild new events are popping up everywhere. Singapore is nothing if not a playground for the culturally curious, sports-mad fun-seeker, and devoted foodie.

First up, culinary explorers, the Singapore Food Festival 2025 is in full swing! There’s an open-air experience at Dempsey Hill today featuring live acoustics and mouthwatering bites. Grab your kakis, hunt down the iconic Singapore Chilli Crab at the Riverside Feast on the river, or join a heritage food tour and taste your way through 8 hidden halal hawker favorites. Hawker culture is lighting up Chinatown Complex Food Centre, with over 195 stalls sporting the SFF 2025 banner—if your taste buds had a wish list, this festival grants every single one.

Feeling competitive? Get your groove on at Bolly Dancing Studio’s Garba Workshop at Waterloo Street. Whether you dance like a pro or like a distracted flamingo, you’ll learn traditional Indian moves in the most energetic, friendly crowd possible. Bring friends and a camera—memorable moments (and some epic missteps) guaranteed!

For those with families or an appetite for knowledge, check out the SPD Ability Walk 2025 at the Asian Civilisations Museum. It’s a scavenger hunt-meets-charity walk with fun activities at iconic spots and, best of all, a mystery plushie reward for completing the challenge. Cheerful chaos? Yes please.

Night owls, it’s time to party. Rasa’s blowing things up with a late-night event from 10 PM to 4 AM at Republic Plaza—dance floors, top DJs, and a crowd that won’t quit until sunrise. That’s my kind of cardio.

On the city buzz front, insiders are raving about a cool new Peranakan café opening along East Coast Road—Kueh Culture is serving nyonya treats with a modern twist. MRT fans rejoice: the North-East Line has added more frequent trains today so you’ll spend less time sweating on the platform and more time exploring.

If you’re on a must-do mission, don’t skip Gardens by the Bay—there’s a sneak peek of the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern displays beginning to light up, and the dragon-flower arch is an Instagram dream. For secret adventure, hunt down the Tiong Bahru murals or picnic in the Bamboo Grove at Changi’s revamped Terminal 2.

Here’s a local tip: When crossing busy streets, watch for the infamous “umbrella grandpas.” They’re masters at timing the traffic light dash—just follow their lead and you’ll always make it, rain or shine.

Tomorrow’s just as wild: Lululemon community run in Katong kicks off at dawn for sporty folks, Mount Faber offers a heritage tour with panoramic views, and the FairPrice Finest Festival promises shopping, eats, and live music galore. Don’t miss it.
