Spooky Season Kicks Off in SG60 Singapore with Art, Parties, and Haunted Commutes

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore with your globe-trotting, game-loving guide, Ollie Bennet! It’s Thursday, October 30th, 2025, and if you’re feeling the city’s pulse right now, let me sum up the vibe: steamy, spirited, and so packed with wild events and quirky fun, even a F1 pit crew would struggle to keep up!

Today is classic Singapore — a splash of sunshine, bursts of tropical rain, and a whole lot of festivals, parties, and mind-bending art. As we hit the year’s spookiest weekend, Halloween energy is fizzing in every corner, and with the aircon cranked up and umbrellas at the ready, Singaporeans are ready to conquer the day’s adventures.

Get this: the Singapore Biennale 2025 officially opens tomorrow, but the city’s already buzzing as artists take over shophouses, karaoke lounges, and even good old strata malls. The theme, Pure Intention, celebrates Singapore’s 60th birthday and invites everyone to rethink how art, ritual, and daily life dance together in our city. There’s a tidal wave of over 100 artworks scattered from Tanjong Pagar Distripark to Orchard Road and even the Rail Corridor, and most of it is free — no joke, just start wandering and you’ll bump into art weirder than a three-legged soccer match!

But tonight, it’s all about the wild side! Ce La Vi’s rooftop is unleashing Cirque Le Soir with award-winning dancers, fire breathers, and circus antics, all overlooking Marina Bay’s glowing skyline. Flip the script with Yelloween — a glittering brunch bash fueled by Veuve Clicquot, tarot readings, and a parade of costumes. At HighHouse, the meme mavens and TikTok titans are lining up for the ‘Horrors of the Internet’ party, where the most unhinged outfit might just win you a cash prize and VIP cabana, because why not? SUSHISAMBA is throwing its REDRUM bash, turning the skyline into a fever dream with The Shining-inspired antics, DJs, and cocktails with names scarier than my high school report card — Death Becomes Her, anyone?

For families, Sydney’s immersive exhibition “Walking Through a Songline” at NUS Arts and Social Sciences offers digital adventures into dreamtime storytelling, while at the Peranakan Museum, “Peacock Power” struts in with feathers and flair, exploring the bird’s legendary status across cultures. If you’re a tech head, Suntec’s Tech Show 2025 opens today with the latest smart home gadgets — come unlock the home of your dreams or, more importantly, exclusive show deals.

Let’s drop some local news! The Jewel Changi Airport is swarming with sake fans as Sake Matsuri kicks off its Jewel Edition with over 400 sakes, a seafood market flown in from Japan, and a costume contest for the bravest drinkers. If you’re moving around, keep an eye out for the new limited-edition MRT trains rolling out just for SG60 — it’s not every day you can commute in style with murals from local artists lining the carriages.

No Singapore visit is complete without the must-do classics: break a sweat at the Botanic Gardens, devour a chili crab feast at East Coast Lagoon, or sneak away to Gillman Barracks for an offbeat dose of gallery-hopping and hipster coffee. For something seasonal, catch the legendary Deadly Disco at Pasir Panjang Power Station, where DJs from The xx and Hot Chip serve up a Halloween rave that’ll keep your bones rattling till sunrise.

Ready for the ultimate local tip? Grab your laksa at a regular-looking kopitiam instead of a fancy spot — you’ll save cash and probably meet an auntie who can tell you a ghost story or two. And if a random aunty hands you an umbrella, take it: a sudden Singapore shower can hit faster than an Olympic sprinter after extra kopi.

Tomorrow, the Singapore Biennale delivers full citywide art madness, and Baybeats, the legendary free music festival at Esplanade, drops some indie sound bombs for all the music lovers out there. I’ll be back to guide you through more weird, wild, and downright epic adventures — so set a reminder and tune in for another day of offbeat discovery with Oly Bennet.
