International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8, 2026 is a lovely reminder to celebrate women’s achievements and the journeys we’re all part of. Whether you’re a mum, grandmother, daughter, or friend, your efforts and achievements are truly appreciated, and what better way to celebrate than with meaningful events that bring people together? Around the world, the day comes alive with gatherings, creative experiences, inspiring talks, and community moments that feel both uplifting and empowering. In 2026, the theme “Give to Gain” sets the tone beautifully, encouraging generosity, collaboration, and shared progress. The focus is on showing up for one another and growing together.
We’ve rounded up some of the most happening events across the island for 2026 that you’ll want on your calendar. So take a breath, explore the list, and find your perfect way to celebrate.
If you’re wondering how to spend International Women’s Day, this is such a lovely way to do it. Head to National Gallery Singapore from 10am to 7pm for a full day of inspiring, feel-good activities designed to energise and uplift. There’ll be guided sessions, quiet moments for reflection, and plenty of time to wander through art and culture at your own pace. It’s the perfect excuse to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and soak up a sense of community. (Bring a jacket though — some spaces can get chilly!)
There’s also plenty of fun extras to look forward to. You could win one of two SG$150 gift vouchers from Anya Active and Curious Creatures in the exclusive lucky draw (that’s SG$300 total!). The first 50 visitors to Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise can enjoy a complimentary power card reading or colour analysis session. Don’t miss the AWARE co-organised panel, plus Strength and Suppleness Yoga at Padang Atrium (B1) and Sunset Yoga with Sound Bath at the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden.

Even more special? You’ll get to contribute a brushstroke to a collaborative artwork with watercolour illustrator Ying, which will be auctioned later this year in support of UWS.
