The August calendar, minus the filler. These are the events we would actually tell a friend about, each one date-verified before it made the list.
Beast & Butterflies runs an all-you-can-scoop tiramisu deal every Friday evening at $9.90+. It is exactly what it sounds like: a big tray, a spatula, and you. Friday night sorted.
A sit-down durian buffet with free-flow Black Thorn, D1 Ganghai and D13 Golden Bun plus durian desserts, ten minutes from Bugis MRT. Peak durian season is right now, which is exactly when you want to be doing this.
Singapore's biggest vintage market runs every single weekend at Bugis Street Art Lane, with vintage clothing, collectors and makers, plus themed editions once a month. Zero planning required, just show up between 3pm and 9pm.
The old S.E.A. Aquarium reborn, roughly three times bigger. It opened in July 2025 and is still the best indoor rainy-day plan on the island. Pairs well with a Sentosa beach evening.
The interactive Minecraft attraction at Mandai keeps selling out weekend slots, so book ahead if you are going with kids. It runs until 13 September, but weekends are the crunch.
Durian season is on and this Tampines stall has queues to prove it. There is a 2 durian limit per person, which tells you everything about how fast stock moves. Go early.
Munchi Pancakes put pistachio kunafa inside a min jiang kueh and honestly, it works. Launched 9 July at all outlets, so grab one on the way home from wherever this list takes you.
The biggest beach grill festival in Singapore returns for its 9th edition with 42 vendors across five zones, including 18 new ones. New this year: Chef's Grill, an eight course omakase-inspired beachfront dinner from $128 that needs advance booking. Regular entry is free and it is pet friendly.
Jett Barbecue is giving out 100 smoked beef cheek tacos every festival day at GrillFest, one per person, first come first served before 4pm. Jett's queues are legendary, so treat the 100 as a challenge, not a promise.
The official F1 Exhibition makes its Asian debut in Singapore: seven immersive rooms of racing history, rare artefacts and simulators at Gardens by the Bay. Tickets went on sale in June and demand has been high, so book rather than walk in.
Gardens by the Bay hosts its annual National Day Concert with local artists and family activities, a week ahead of the big day itself.
NDP 2026 returns to the National Stadium, with fireworks over Kallang Basin in the evening. Even without parade tickets, the Kallang and Marina Bay areas turn into one big picnic, and National Day dining promos run islandwide all week.
The 17th edition of the Night Festival lights up the Bras Basah.Bugis district across three weekends, this year themed around local myths and legends. Light installations, craft markets and late-night museum programming, all free to wander.
Sentosa GrillFest 2026, Singapore Night Festival 2026. Dates for each are in the list above.
