Explore the Quirky Wonders of Singapore's Design, Culture, and More - Your Weekend Itinerary

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore! It’s Saturday, October 25th, 2025, and I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting sports nut and enthusiast of all things wonderfully quirky—here to guide you through the Lion City’s wild side, with extra humor and plenty of energy!

Singapore is sizzling with a **hot 90°F breeze** at Changi, with mostly cloudy skies and little rain in sight—classic tropical weather that might have you hunting out both ice cream and an umbrella, just in case. Around town, the city’s alive and buzzing, especially with high-profile guests as Premier Li of China is in town for a ceremonial welcome and meetings with Prime Minister Wong. News flash: If you spot extra-polished cars or see the odd road closure, blame it on global diplomacy happening right in your backyard!

Ready for today’s action? Hold on—because you’ve got options as wide as a rugby scrum!

jump into Singapore Design Week 2025, running all weekend long with over 60 events city-wide—from cutting-edge product launches to immersive exhibitions. The theme this year is “Design Transformation,” so if you’re keen on exploring mind-bending art, innovative fashion, or just want to ogle futuristic home gadgets, it doesn’t get better than this. Vogue Singapore reports the creative scene is in full bloom, so you’ll want to check out events clustered around the National Design Centre and Gillman Barracks.

Bring the kids (or just bring out your inner child) to the Children’s Carnival at the National Gallery Singapore starting today. Imagine a day packed with collaborative art walls, roaming storytellers, crafts, and interactive installations. According to the Gallery’s latest announcement, this is its first-ever children-focused day and it’s shaping up to be a masterpiece of fun.

If you’re itching for pop culture with a local flavor, race down to charc+r: The Great IP Invasion at the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. You’ll find Singapore’s indie creators showcasing original characters, artist markets, collectible drops, and meet-and-greets. There’s even an old-school blind box lucky draw, with two characters earning a chance to be produced as full-on 3D figures. Mochibuddies, Tasty Toastys, and the brilliantly named BirdBois are all in the house, and you could say it’s the Olympics of adorable!

If shopping’s your cardio, you can catch the debut of the Noguchi Coin Pop-Up at Jewel Changi Airport. This marks the first time these limited-edition Japanese coins are sold outside Japan and might just be the perfect collectible or gift to snag between donut runs and plane-spotting.

Prefer to move? Join the morning Tree Planting @Rail Corridor South and stake your claim in making Singapore greener—bonus points for doing something epic for the environment before most of the city’s coffee kicks in! For family fun, try the My Clementi Heritage Tour at 2 PM, a quirky walking tour through one of Singapore’s most storied neighborhoods with local guides spinning tales taller than a rugby lineout.

Cultural connoisseurs, sneak a preview of the upcoming Somewhere Out There music and arts festival, with GRAMMY-nominated Bonobo as a headliner next month at Fort Canning. Tickets are on sale and promise a musical, culinary, and artsy mashup.

Quick bites from around the city: Four Seasons Singapore just revealed its new “Polaroids of Singapore” menu—an edible odyssey of cocktails crafted to showcase local flavors, perfect for trying before hitting the nightlife circuit. Elsewhere, new public transit routes have eased travel to Tanjong Pagar and Marina Bay, so getting to late-night hotspots (like the Zouk Group’s party at Clarke Quay tonight!) is a cinch.

Oly’s Local Tip: In Singapore, hawker centres are the ultimate sporting arena of taste—and the Maxwell Food Centre just saw a new stall open with a twist on laksa made with blue pea noodles. Blue noodles, folks! It’s outrageous, unforgettable, and yes, totally Instagrammable—just ask the locals how to snag a seat.

For tomorrow, set your sights on the Asian Civilisations Museum’s “Serumpun 2025: Tasting Tradition, Telling Tales” festival, or gear up for the Vivino Halloween Wine Walkabout for those brave enough to pair grape with ghost stories. Teaser—Singapore’s nightlife is revving up for Halloween themes all week, so come back for the full scoop.
