Sentosa GrillFest 2025: Dates, 5 Zones and Free Entry (Ended)
12 July 2025 · From our Instagram
Sentosa GrillFest 2025 ran at Siloso Beach from 17 July to 10 August 2025, on 13 days only, 4pm to 10.30pm, with free entry. It had 39 food and drink brands across five zones: Local Grills, International Grills, Beachside Grills, GrillHouse and Marketplace. It has ended, and the 2026 edition has also come and gone.
This one has finished.
It ran until 10 August 2025. We keep the page up because people still search for it and the details are worth having, but do not make the trip on the strength of this article. For what is actually on right now, see things to do this weekend.
Not every day. It opened Thursday 17 July and ran to Sunday 20 July, then only Fridays to Sundays: 25 to 27 July, 1 to 3 August and 8 to 10 August 2025. That is 13 event days in total. Gates were 4pm to 10.30pm and there was no entry ticket, you paid stall by stall.
The nearest stop was Beach Station on the Sentosa Express, then a short walk or the beach shuttle to Siloso.
The five zones, and what was new in 2025
Local Grills carried 18 Singapore brands. International Grills and Beachside Grills held the bigger names, including Jett Barbecue at Stall 19, which we rated 9/10 in our GrillFest 2025 ratings.
Two things were new. The Marketplace let you pick fresh ingredients and have chefs cook them on the spot. The GrillHouse let you grill your own on Ninja Foodi smart grills, with seafood from LYH Seafood, or leave it to the chefs. Sentosa also ran four GrillHouse social mixer nights with Offline Singapore for 160 people in total, which is what our "mix, mingle and feast" slide was about.
The small stuff that helped
Bring your own utensils, cup or container and you could claim a $5 GrillFest voucher, limited to the first 50 redemptions a day. There were washing points on site. Sentosa also said the grounds were barrier-free for wheelchairs and strollers, with a quarter of the seating set aside for guests with mobility needs.
What came after the 2025 edition
GrillFest returned for its ninth year from 23 July to 16 August 2026, with 42 vendors, still five zones and still free entry. Our Sentosa GrillFest 2026 guide covers what changed, including the $128 Chef's Grill dinner. Sentosa has not announced 2027 dates.

· Bring a reusable cup or container. In 2025 that was worth a $5 voucher if you were early.
· Take the Sentosa Express to Beach Station instead of driving in on a festival night.
