3. Haw Par Villa Spirits Festival
Haw Par Villa is commemorating the 7th Lunar Month through the inaugural Spirits Festival from 12 – 26 August 2022. This will be the first Spirits Festival held in the 85-year-old iconic Asian park celebrating the traditional festivals of Singapore, aptly incorporating its newly-built Hell’s Museum and the park’s infamous 10 Courts of Hell.
The Spirits Festival will commemorate both the Taoist Hungry Ghost Festival and the Buddhist Ullambana Festival in a series of events and an exhibition that will run till the end of this year. It will focus on unity in diversity, showing similarities in beliefs and practices amongst East Asia’s different schools of thought. Events organised by Journeys Pte Ltd (JPL) and its associate firm, Singapore History Consultants (SHC), will both entertain and educate visitors on the festivals and the related practices they frequently see but might not understand.
Haw Par Villa is located at 262 Pasir Panjang Rd, Singapore 118628.
