Singapore's Sizzling Sunday: Art, Anime, and Authentic Hawker Bites

Welcome, welcome, WELCOME to Things to Do in Singapore! I'm Ollie Bennett, and let me tell you, this Sunday morning is absolutely BUZZING with energy here in the Lion City. We're talking sunny tropical vibes, perfect weather for getting out and about, and some genuinely fantastic happenings that'll make your head spin.

So here's the thing about Singapore right now—it's basically peak discovery season. The city's got this incredible blend of cutting-edge modern meets traditional culture, and today's packed with options that'll make you forget you ever had a couch.

Let me hit you with some absolute MUST-DO happenings happening right now. First up, the Light to Night Festival is in full swing through the end of January at the Civic District. According to everyday people Singapore, this is the tenth edition and they've gone absolutely wild with it this year—four weekends of interactive art installations and light projections celebrating "The Power in Us." It's free, it's absolutely stunning, and it's the perfect antidote to Sunday blues.

Next, if you're an art fanatic like yours truly, Singapore Art Week is happening from January 22 to 31, and ART SG 2026 is bringing Southeast Asia's biggest contemporary art fair to the Sands Expo and Convention Centre starting tomorrow. We're talking cutting-edge creativity that'll blow your mind.

For something quirky and absolutely genius, check out the Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba Total Concentration Exhibition opening January 24 at the former Singapore Sports Hub Library. According to lead you elsewhere, this massive immersive experience spans two floors with life-sized sets and interactive zones that'll transport anime fans straight into the action.

Now here's a local secret that'll make you feel like a seasoned traveler—grab some of that limited edition merch while it lasts, because Singapore exclusive items disappear faster than you can say maki sushi. And speaking of culture, the Spring Blossoms exhibition at the Flower Dome through March 1 is bringing Year of the Horse celebrations to life with absolutely spectacular floral displays.

If you're hunting for hidden gems, the Retro Factory's Vintage Flea Market at Katong Square is running today with free entry, and you'll find some genuinely brilliant vintage treasures there. It's the kind of place where you stumble upon something you didn't know you needed.

For your must-do today, I'm recommending you mix it up—start with the free Light to Night Festival in the evening, then pop over to one of the weekend markets like the Hammock Market if you're in shopping mode. The energy is absolutely infectious.

And here's your insider tip, listeners—grab some fresh local laksa or satay from one of the hawker centres before heading out. It's the ultimate Singapore experience that'll fuel your adventures and give you the authentic taste of the city that'll keep you coming back.

Tomorrow, we've got Men I Trust hitting the Star Theatre stage on January 26, so stay tuned for more incredible music and entertainment options heading your way.
