Welcome to Things to Do in Singapore with me, Oly Bennet, your jet-setting connoisseur of the world’s quirkiest competitions and wild city adventures! Today’s date is Sunday, September 7, 2025, and Singapore is bursting with energy, color, and—let’s be honest—a delightful amount of humidity. The city’s got its sleeves rolled up for a sultry late-summer day, skies mostly clear but with the ever-present promise of a tropical drizzle to keep you on your toes.Let’s talk about the current vibe—Singapore is positively electric with a buffet of festivities, culture, mystery, and one seriously lunar night up ahead. The Singapore Night Festival is in full swing, transforming the Bras Basah.Bugis precinct into a glittering, nocturnal playground with jaw-dropping projection mapping, interactive light installations, and festival villages. If you love getting your steps in while surrounded by dazzling lights and cultural showcases, this is your after-dark playground. Even the Children’s Museum Singapore has jumped in, offering family-friendly installations, crafts, and pop-up storytelling under the festival’s shimmering glow.This weekend, the Singapore Food Festival is serving up multisensory madness with its headliner Food is Art event at Factory @ New Bahru. Imagine desserts you can’t decide whether to eat or hang on your wall, curated by celebrity patissier Adriano Zumbo and Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel’s pastry wizard Goh Dah Liang. There are food trucks rolling around the city, so even your tastebuds can do a little globetrotting. Over at Dempsey Hill, the Mise en Place experience hub is open for festivalgoers wanting an all-day café, a bit of VIP treatment, and whimsical sweets exclusive to the festival.Art lovers, don’t miss Artsobi Art Market 2.0—more than a bazaar, this is artists inviting you to play, create, and rediscover joy in unexpected ways. The stalls are packed with hands-on activities, stamp rallies, and the friendly chaos of artists everywhere. Meanwhile, if you’re craving a brainy battle, the Asian Mind Sports Festival features chess and board game showdowns for all levels, with a guaranteed side of strategic shenanigans.Tonight’s wild card? Keep your eyes peeled for the rare “blood moon” total lunar eclipse! It kicks off at 11:28 pm and peaks at 2:11 am on Monday. The skies above Punggol or West Coast Park will be prime lunar-spotting turf, so bring your late-night snacks, your camera, and maybe a friend who claims to be an amateur astronomer.Now for your scoop of city news: The local MRT lines are running late tonight to handle all you moon chasers and festival hoppers. There’s also buzz about a new hawker stall at Maxwell Food Centre, serving up Thai-fusion satay with a line already forming before lunch—try it early, thank me when your taste buds stop dancing the cha-cha.Need a must-do for today? Head to Gardens by the Bay, where the Cloud Forest is still hosting its Jurassic World themed adventure, because what’s a Sunday without at least one brush with a raptor? For something more offbeat, hop over to Suntec Singapore for the Winter Wear Mega Sale—nothing like prepping for winter in the world’s steamiest equator-hugging metropolis.Here’s your fun Singapore tip: The city’s best kept secret is its “gravity-defying” ice kachang, that mountain of shaved ice topped with sweet beans and rainbow syrups. For the fluffiest mound, ask for extra milk at any old-school hawker stall. Locals swear it’s the secret ingredient to survival after a night of festival madness.Excited for tomorrow? Stay tuned, because the lunar eclipse magic lingers in the air and there are rumors of a secret pop-up jazz gig in an Orchard Road speakeasy, plus new festival acts lighting up the city for a jaw-dropping Monday.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.
