Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore! It’s Sunday, October 5th, 2025, and if you can hear my globe-trotting sneakers squeak with excitement, it’s because the Lion City is absolutely roaring with life today. The weather? Predictable as a Manchester United comeback—hot, humid, and there’s a decent chance the sky might treat us to a dramatic tropical shower just when you least expect it. Charge those phones, pop open that umbrella, and let’s dive into what’s up in Singapore!First up, the big headline: Grand Prix fever has officially hit the streets with the 2025 Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix blazing to life at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Local news outlets and Sky Sports F1 are all over it. At 1pm local time, it’s race lights out with the world watching as the city morphs into a neon-lit racetrack. The hype is turbocharged—not just for die-hard petrolheads but party lovers too, with waterfront concerts, pop-up bars, and exclusive after-race nightlife firing on all cylinders all around town. Expect crowds, the deep purr of high-octane engines, and a weekend tourism boom that’ll even have neighboring Bali wishing they’d snagged Hamilton for their coconut race.If your eardrums want more jazz than engine revs, Gardens by the Bay is hosting the grand finale of its Mid-Autumn Festival tonight. Catch The Jazzlings, Singapore’s hottest youth jazz collective, swinging between 7 and 8:30pm under the shimmering Supertrees. According to the official festival calendar, it’s all about classic jazz standards, mooncakes, glowing lanterns, and cultural mashups—totally free and absolutely atmospheric.Prefer thought-provoking art to tire smoke? The Asia-Europe Cultural Festival is in town until October 12th with three head-scratching, heart-stirring exhibits. Today’s highlight is the ongoing “Between Lands: Migration as Transformation” at the Goethe-Institute Lab, showcasing artists wrestling with identity and change. Perfect for anyone who likes their Sundays with a side of meaningful storytelling.Family in tow? Several community centers are rolling out lantern processions, goody bags, bouncy castles, multicultural stage shows, and street snacks for the Mid-Autumn Festival—especially the scene at Choa Chu Kang. It’s fun, festive, and a quirky alternative to the main city eruption.Meanwhile, in foodie news, local restaurateurs are firing up new concepts and menu launches to catch the Grand Prix spillover. No major transit disruptions reported—MRTs are running with extra services and marshals on hand, so getting around is as smooth as kaya toast on butter.If you only do three things today, here’s Oly’s wild ride pick: take in the buzz at the Grand Prix town zone (even if you don’t have F1 tickets, the energy is contagious), swing by Gardens by the Bay for free jazz and lantern magic, then refuel with spicy laksa at a neighborhood hawker before checking out an art exhibition or lantern parade.Here’s a tip: If you want to blend in like a local, grab a kopi o kosong at any hawker centre, people-watch for a while, and never, ever jaywalk—Singapore’s fines are just as legendary as its skyline.Coming up tomorrow, we’ve got more art from the Asia-Europe Festival, fresh performances popping up around town, and (spoilers!) a deep dive into a new pop-up roller disco by Clarke Quay. Tune in for more adventures with me, Oly Bennet, where the world’s quirkiest competitions and coolest city happenings are always just a tram stop away.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.
