Festivals, Runs, Art Fairs, and More - Things to Do in Singapore This Lively Sunday

Welcome, listeners, to Things to do in Singapore! Today is Sunday, November 2, 2025, and if you stepped outside this morning—whew, you’ve been greeted by that steamy Singapore blend of humidity, tropical warmth, and dazzling sunshine. The city’s buzzing from last night’s Halloween celebrations, but it’s already on to the next adventure, with festivals, concerts, and quirky happenings painting the town technicolor.

This lively Sunday kicks off with events for every taste and tribe. For music fans craving indie vibes, Baybeats 2025 wraps up today at Esplanade, tossing out a final volley of alternative rock, pop, and panel talks for festival diehards eager to discover Asia’s boldest new sounds. Registration gets you access to crazy-cool stages, including international acts like Silica Gel from Korea and N.Y.P.D. from Hong Kong. If you’re itching to move, don your sneakers for the lululemon Community Run at Vivo City—feel the rush, meet fellow runners, and earn yourself a post-run kaya toast (or three).

Meanwhile, artsy spirits can wander through the Affordable Art Fair at F1 Pit Building, with over 750 artists from all over the globe and special sections for Singapore’s own creative powerhouses—score stunning pieces without breaking the bank, and share your best selfie under a giant sculpture. Over at NUS University Cultural Centre, Blooming in Harmony is charming families and classical music fans with an uplifting evening of live performance, and if the kiddos are in tow, you cannot miss the final day of the Snoopy Experience Centre at HarbourFront. It’s Peanuts-gone-wild with a play park, spooky Halloween zones, and even a Spooky Dare Box that’s either totally sweet, or hilariously sneaky!

For those who swear by quirky competitions (Oly Bennet style!), why not test your courage at the Boo Boo House in the Snoopy Experience Centre, or catch the ongoing Sentosa Festive Market at Palawan Beach Walk, where you can join family-friendly workshops while grooving to a live DJ—all eco-conscious and themed around nature and sustainability.

On the nightlife side, Singapore’s iconic bar scene is back in full swing. If you favor smooth jazz and delectable cocktails, Cool Cats Lounge is serving up a sensory treat tonight on Beach Road—hip local bands and international guests make it the undisputed HQ for music lovers hungry for something fresh.

In the local news department, Hyundai Motor Group just signed an MoU with Singapore’s HTX to advance mobility, robotics, and hydrogen tech, promising even smarter public transit and futuristic upgrades on the horizon. If you’re heading near the Esplanade, keep eyes peeled for temporary road closures thanks to the Tour de France EFGH Singapore Criterium blazing past, so hop that MRT or breeze past in true local style.

Hungry for adventure but want a hidden gem? Explore the new SG60 Museum’s outdoor pop-up containers at the National Museum’s front lawn—catch a glimpse of nostalgic TV sets, Diana memorabilia, and other objects telling Singapore’s wild 60-year story. Or join My Dawson Heritage Tour for a walking exploration with local guides who know every secret tale and shortcut.

Fun fact for today—did you know Orchard Road’s “Christmas On A Great Street” officially launches this week, transforming the stretch into a glowing festive wonderland with giant trees, carnival rides, market stalls, and enough fairy lights to make Santa jealous? Insider tip: If you want to avoid crowds, visit on weekday evenings and snap magical selfies with far fewer photobombs.

Before we sign off, tomorrow is bursting with fresh activities—start the week with a wildlife sustainability talk at Flower Field Hall and swing by the Jurong East Stadium for the JFA ANESSA Kids Sunshine Project, lighting up little faces with wellness fun. So tune in for more wild discoveries, dazzling celebrations, and, if I’m lucky, a few more quirky competitions to keep the Oly Bennet spirit alive!
