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.
All you can scoop tiramisu at Beast and Butterflies in M Social, $9.90++ a head, Fridays from 6pm and only if you order a main course. It is back by popular demand rather than a permanent fixture, so do not save it for a rainy month.
The rebuilt aquarium at Resorts World Sentosa, opened July 2025 in place of S.E.A. Aquarium. Resorts World Sentosa lists one-day tickets from $55 for adults aged 13 to 59, and from $43 for children aged 4 to 12 and seniors. These are from-prices that rise on peak dates. Check the official operating-hours calendar before you go, it closes early on scattered dates.
Pistachio kunafa min jiang kueh, the local answer to the Dubai chocolate bar. It is on the menu now, but Munchi has never called it permanent and customers keep asking them to, so treat it as a run that could end without notice.
A Swiss artist recreates the Northern Lights over Supertree Grove out of light and cloud particles, with a soundtrack written for it. Free, outdoors, and cancelled if it rains during show time. Check the clock before you go in September: from 12 to 27 September it moves to 9pm and runs 15 minutes instead of 30, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Life-sized animatronic dinosaurs set among the mist and waterfalls of Cloud Forest. Gardens by the Bay lists the combined Flower Dome and Cloud Forest ticket at $34 for adults, $29 for seniors and $26 for children 3 to 12 at the Singapore resident rate, with Cloud Forest alone at $26 adult. Resident rates need proof of residency and often a local bank card at purchase, and non-resident prices are higher. Gardens by the Bay warns the rooms use loud sound effects and flashing lights, worth knowing if you are bringing a child sensitive to either. Last admission is 8pm, half an hour earlier than Flower Dome.
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.
Floral versions of Disney characters at Floral Fantasy, with Toy Story 5 and Frozen making their Singapore debut in the display. It runs to March 2027 so there is no rush, but two things to know for September: Floral Fantasy is shut for maintenance on 1 September, and tripods and camera stands are not allowed inside.
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 on every festival day at GrillFest, one per person. The festival opens at 4pm and Jett tells people to come early, so treat the 100 as a challenge, not a promise. Their own 4 August post confirms the last days are 14 to 16 August.
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.
A grill-it-yourself meat ball where the filling is decided by a gachapon capsule you roll at the table. One bomb is $4.90, two are $8.90, three are $10.90. The gold capsule is the Ultra Rare tier, the wagyu and Jeju pork. It is a ball rather than a slice, so it needs longer on the grill and a turn, or the middle stays raw. Runs to 2 November, so a weekday beats fighting for a table.
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.
MINISO takes over VivoCity's Central Court atrium for ten days with the Winnie the Pooh 100th Anniversary Collection. Blind boxes, limited edition plushies and the rest of the range. The blind boxes are the part that clears first, so go early in the run rather than the last weekend.
McDonald's first Samurai themed Japanese game show, running alongside the Samurai Burger's return. Three challenges, free to join, and you walk away with a Kyoho Grape Cone, Seaweed McShaker Fries or Samurai stickers. The cash rounds are the narrow bit: 22, 23, 29 and 30 August, 11am to 1pm only, $400 to $200 for solo and $800 to $400 for pairs, registration required through the Samurai page on mcdonalds.com.sg. Listings put it beside McDonald's Bugis Junction, but McDonald's own page does not name the venue, so take the location from them when you register.
Every KFC outlet in Singapore turns into a Pokemon GO PokeStop and Gym for six weeks, and five get full type-themed makeovers. A Japanese Nanban menu runs from $3.95 and the merch is a paid add-on tied to a specific order. It lands in two waves: from 19 August you can get the $14.95 reversible blind pouch, the $32.95 Pikachu car neck pillow set and a free trainer sticker sheet. The $12.95 Poke Ball bucket, the $15.95 gaming chopsticks and the $99 Charizard evolution jacket only start on 9 September, and the jacket is sold at five outlets only, one per customer.
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.
Flower Dome goes ancient Egypt for its lily season. Lilies, water lilies and lilies of the Nile planted around hieroglyphic art and stone sculptures. It ends on 27 September, so this is the last full month to catch it, and the same ticket gets you into Cloud Forest with the Jurassic World dinosaurs.
District After Dark takes over the Holland Village precinct for a weekend, 4pm to 10pm both days. Run by the Singapore Nightlife Business Association with INVADE as festival director, the team behind Artbox.
Sentosa GrillFest 2026, Singapore Night Festival 2026, Village Encounters at Holland Village. Dates for each are in the list above.
Every date here is checked against the organiser or the venue, and the page rebuilds daily so anything that has finished is marked ENDED rather than quietly left up. Organisers do change plans at short notice, so for a long trip across the island it is always worth a look at their own page before you go.
