What Was On in Singapore in July 2026: 5 Events We Covered
In July 2026 we listed five things worth doing in Singapore: Sentosa GrillFest (23 Jul to 16 Aug), SOMEWHERE @ Bugis Street (25 Jul to 1 Nov), KFC Karnival on 4 July only, Creators Super Fest on 11 to 12 July and Glow Festival by Prudential from 10 to 19 July. Four of the five have finished. One of them, SOMEWHERE at Bugis Street, was scheduled to run into November, so it is the only one on this list still worth checking. Here is what each one was, kept on record.
The two free ones: Sentosa GrillFest and SOMEWHERE
Sentosa GrillFest ran 23 July to 16 August at Palawan Green, free entry, Fridays to Sundays 4pm to 10.30pm, with more than 35 food stalls across six zones. It was the biggest beachside barbecue thing on the calendar, and the free-taco stall was the one that drew queues.
SOMEWHERE @ Bugis Street opened 25 July as a new lifestyle market, free entry, Saturdays and Sundays 1pm to 7pm, running to 1 November. Thrift racks and local brands rather than tourist tat, which is not what Bugis Street is usually for.
If you want the current version of this list, our free events in September 2026 piece is the one to read.
The ticketed ones
Creators Super Fest 2026, 11 to 12 July, from $15 a ticket, 10am to 7pm: 300-plus artist and creator booths of collectibles, artwork and exclusive merch. This is the AFA-linked one, so the queue for the good artists forms at doors.
Glow Festival by Prudential, 10 to 19 July at Sentosa beach, from $69 a ticket, timings varying by date: wellness sessions in the morning, live music at night. Mass sunrise yoga on the sand is a very specific experience and you either want it or you really do not.
KFC Karnival was a one-day thing on 4 July, $29.90 adult and $15.90 child, 5pm to 10pm, fried chicken and carnival games with a BYD Atto 3 as the grand prize. We wrote it up separately at the time.
Good to know
· Four of these five have ended. SOMEWHERE @ Bugis Street was scheduled to 1 November, so check their socials before making the trip.
· Sentosa GrillFest was Fridays to Sundays only, not daily. Weekend-only festivals catch people out every year.
· Creators Super Fest tickets started at $15 and the artist alley is the point. Bring cash, many booths are cash-first.
