1. Singapore International Festival of Arts
At the Singapore International Festival of Arts, all can celebrate art in various ways. For almost a full month from May 16 to June 2, Singapore celebrates this art festival in multiple fields ranging from theater, dance, and music. FYI, the Singapore International Festival of Arts was first held in 1977 as a national art festival to celebrate the diversity of arts from around the world.
Some of the excitement this year included 100 Keyboards Installation & Performance, which for the first time came to Singapore directly from Japan by an artist named ASUNA. There is also a puppet show complete with live music performances from New Zealand on 'Peter and the Wolf' which will be held at the Silo Theater.

2. Hungry Ghost Festival
Singapore is not only a country with a diversity of religions but also cultures. The celebration that can't be missed is the Hungry Ghost Festival, one of the best annual festivals for local culture lovers that fall on August 15th. Immerse yourself in the Chinese traditional culture of Halloween in Singapore. Rituals and offerings for the spirits might be found on the main streets or in the Chinatown area. However, you can also enjoy the excitement of the LED-studded music stage and the variety of arrangements of pop songs that are familiar to you.
Besides Chinatown, you can also feel the sensation of being paranormal in the Asia Paranormal Investigators by visiting Bukit Brown, a funeral area that stores many things about culture, history, traditions, and personal stories for Singaporeans. As quoted from the official website, "Every tomb here is essential. Each monument tells a story that deserves to be written. "Tomb tourism in Singapore? Sounds interesting, right? Alternatively, visit Loo Koo Chye Seng Hong Temple to learn more about the culture, traditions, and rituals that are performed today. Check the info on bukitbrown.com
