Calling all heritage lovers, the Singapore Heritage Festival returns for its 17th year in June! Delve into the hidden tales of Singapore's colorful history, from our built heritage to our intangible cultural heritage, including our traditions, customs, practices, as well as personal stories. SHF 2020 will be a special one as for the first time, it will be held in a digital setting. Launched in 2014, SHF is an annual signature community outreach event which aims to promote awareness and appreciation of Singapore’s rich heritage, and to promote community integration and bonding amongst Singaporeans, New Citizens and Permanent Residents (PRs).
Despite its virtual setting, you will still get to uncover lesser-known stories of our heritage through online tours, digitally commissioned works, webinars, online masterclasses, and more. This year, get acquainted with Tanjong Pagar, Pasir Ris and Kallang not many know of – from vignettes of Tanjong Pagar’s early bustling rickshaw scene, to tales of the grand resort vacations Singaporeans used to have at Pasir Ris. Also for the first time, take this time at home to hone your pastry-making and belachan-pounding skills with online workshops conducted by SHF’s community partners.
A festival celebrating the rich history and heritage of Singapore!
June 19 - July 15, 2020.
