From 28 Apr-14 May, the Singapore Heritage Festival will allow visitors to explore Singapore’s lesser-known stories through a specially curated line-up of programs and activities.
In case you were wondering about the price tag, almost all of the programs are free and open to public. And if you don’t have time to fully explore the entire programme (because there are more than 110 activities lined up), we picked out six highlights that are not to be missed:
6. Little India of the 1900s
Not many people really take the time to appreciate the beauty of Little India, where ethnic Indian immigrants resided back when Singapore was still under colonial rule.
The Indian Heritage Center will be showcasing films and early images of Little India to allow visitors a glimpse into the past. See if you can spot the various sites of Little India in the 1900s, which is actually not where it is today.
Adorning Campbell Lane would be an art installation inspired by the vibrant and colourful saree shops that line the streets of Little India.
Held from 6-7 and 13-14 May at the Indian Heritage Center, 5 Campbell Lane. Free admission for all.
