Singapore’s Formula 1 weekend has long outgrown the confines of the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
In the days surrounding the FORMULA 1® SINGAPORE AIRLINES SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2026, the city becomes one enormous playground of pop-ups, parties, special menus, motorsport experiences and family-friendly activities.
With the race taking place from 9 to 11 October 2026, here are some places and experiences worth adding to your F1 weekend itinerary.
1. See the Louis Vuitton Formula 1 Trophy Trunk Up Close
Before the cars hit the Marina Bay Street Circuit, Formula 1 fans have a rare opportunity to see one of the sport’s most distinctive trophies from just a few steps away.
Louis Vuitton is bringing its bespoke Formula 1 Trophy Trunk to the Louis Vuitton Island Maison at Marina Bay Sands from 25 to 29 September 2026. It marks the first time a Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk has been displayed publicly in Singapore.
Created by hand at Louis Vuitton’s historic atelier in Asnières-sur-Seine, France, the trunk blends the maison’s long history of travel craftsmanship with Singapore’s night-race identity. The familiar Monogram canvas is joined by red and white detailing inspired by Singapore, while a black-and-white Damier treatment references the chequered flag. There is also a Victory patch that records the winning driver’s initials, effectively turning each trunk into part of Formula 1 history.
It is an interesting detour even if you are more interested in design than lap times. Louis Vuitton’s connection with automobiles stretches back more than a century, when Georges Vuitton began producing trunks suited to the emerging world of motor travel.
Louis Vuitton Singapore Marina Bay Sands, Island Maison B2-36, 2 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018972.
2. Feel the F1 Rush at Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES This Race Season
Race fever is taking over Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES, bringing a mix of F1-inspired experiences, live screenings, interactive activities and dining to the heart of the city.
At Capitol Singapore, the Grand Circuit Fan Zone gets visitors into the racing spirit with activations including the Heineken® 0.0 Fan Garage, Lenovo gaming zone and Racing Simulator, alongside a Tesla car challenge and light show. Race fans can also take home exclusive merchandise, including a Tomica Premium No.41 Tesla Cybertruck.
The action continues at CHIJMES on 9 October 2026 (Friday), where the Jim Beam Race Weekend Watch Party takes over the Main Lawn with live music, refreshing Jim Beam highballs and interactive experiences. Guests can also head to The Winery for a Pit Stop Pairing dinner while catching the Sprint Qualifying live on screen.
For those looking to make a meal of the evening, dining experiences are also available at Hopscotch and Stirling Steaks, with limited slots allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and subject to availability.
From racing simulators and live screenings to food, drinks and race-inspired experiences, Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES are bringing plenty of ways to soak up the F1 atmosphere beyond the circuit.
3. Watch the Night Race From 33 Floors Up at LeVeL33
There are plenty of places screening Formula 1 in Singapore. Very few let you watch it while looking directly across the illuminated Marina Bay skyline.
From 9 to 11 October 2026, LeVeL33 is turning its Marina Bay Financial Centre perch into a race-weekend viewing destination. The restaurant sits 33 floors above the city and combines live race coverage on multiple screens with outdoor views, house-brewed craft beers and its signature ContemBrewery cooking.
Those looking for a full meal can opt for a four-course sharing menu at S$168++ per person, with dishes including oysters, Westholme Wagyu Ribeye MBS6–7, Murray cod and LeVeL33’s Chocolate & Stout dessert. The regular à la carte menu will also remain available.
If drinks are the priority, a three-hour free-flow package costs S$149++ per person, covering LeVeL33 beers, Prosecco, wines, spirits, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.
One thing to plan for: minimum spends kick in from 5pm. Expect S$158++ per person indoors and S$258++ per person on the terrace.
For race fans who prefer a proper dinner, cold beer and skyline views over squeezing into an overcrowded sports bar, this is one of the more polished options.
LeVel33 is located at 8 Marina Boulevard, #33-01 Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, Singapore 018981.
4. Spend the Entire Race Weekend at Mondrian Singapore Duxton
If your idea of F1 weekend involves brunch in the afternoon, cocktails by the pool and a DJ set after midnight, Mondrian Singapore Duxton’s Pace to Race programme could occupy almost your entire weekend.
The action begins at Bottega di Carna, where Circuit Di Carna Brunch takes place on 10 and 11 October 2026 from 11am to 3pm. Expect Northern Italian food, a live carving station, race-themed desserts, DJs and deliberately playful extras including caricature artists, caviar, shooters and Margarita Cycles. Packages start at S$98++ for food only, rising to S$138++ with free-flow drinks, while a Billecart-Salmon Champagne upgrade costs another S$78++.
Need a recovery lap? Canyon Club’s Champion’s Respite, running from 8 to 11 October 2026, pairs rooftop cabanas with seafood platters, cocktails and three packages priced from S$450++ to S$1,288++.
Then things get considerably louder downstairs. Jungle Ballroom’s Apex runs from 9 to 11 October 2026 with Autograf, Alan Dixon and Natalie Dunn headlining different nights. General admission starts at S$149++, while table packages begin at S$750++.
There are also dedicated hotel stay packages with breakfast, upgrades, late checkout and other perks if commuting home after every party sounds ambitious.
Mondrian Singapore Duxton is located at 16A Duxton Hill, Singapore 089970.
5. Race, Eat and Geek Out Over Cars at Pullman Singapore Hill Street
Pullman Singapore Hill Street is stretching the Formula 1 season well beyond race weekend with more than a month of motorsport-inspired activities.
From 1 September to 18 October 2026, Madison’s hosts interactive racing games created in collaboration with The F1® Exhibition Singapore and Pirelli. Visitors can test their virtual driving skills while competing for dining vouchers, making it an easy stop even if you are not staying at the hotel.
Food comes into play with The Seafood Bucket: Race Edition, available on 20 and 27 September 2026 and 4 October 2026. Aside from the seafood itself, diners can potentially leave with an official Pirelli Podium Cap.
Things accelerate once race weekend arrives. From 9 to 11 October 2026, rooftop bar El Chido will have an F1 simulator, followed by its Sprint Special & Main Race Fiesta on 10 and 11 October 2026. The event combines live Formula 1 broadcasts with free-flow Mexican barbecue and elevated city views.
The programme continues after the chequered flag. On 24 October 2026, Pullman Pit Stop brings together Itasha cars, recognisable Japanese Domestic Market builds and customised street cars for a one-day automotive showcase.
It is one of the better options for anyone whose interest in Formula 1 naturally extends into car culture more broadly.
Pullman Singapore Hill Street is located at 1 Hill Street, Singapore 179949.
6. Meet F1 Drivers and Explore PUMA’s Speed Station
PUMA is treating Singapore Grand Prix week less like a single event and more like a citywide motorsport festival.
Its Own Your Speed campaign runs from 5 to 11 October 2026, starting with a 5km PUMA Track Night Run around Marina Bay on 5 October. The centrepiece arrives a day later when The Speed Station opens at 313@Somerset.
Running from 6 to 11 October 2026, the Level 1 pop-up brings together PUMA’s Scuderia Ferrari HP and McLaren Formula 1 collections alongside racing simulators and other interactive elements. For fans looking to update their race-week wardrobe, this will also be one of the easiest places to browse both teams’ PUMA merchandise in one stop.
The headline attraction comes on 7 October 2026, when PUMA brings Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc and McLaren driver Lando Norris to Singapore for fan meet-and-greet activities. Access to the respective meet-and-greets is subject to PUMA’s competition and participation mechanics.
Elsewhere, PUMA is heading to HyperDrive at The Palawan @ Sentosa on 8 and 9 October 2026 for automotive-community events before finishing the week with a race watch party at Paulaner Bräuhaus on 11 October.
313@Somerset is located at 313 Orchard Road, Singapore 238895.
7. Enjoy up to 35% off admission tickets to the Museum of Ice Cream this Race Season
F1 weekend does not have to involve engines every waking hour. Museum of Ice Cream Singapore is offering racegoers an excuse to temporarily exchange horsepower for unlimited ice cream.
From 2 to 11 October 2026, visitors holding a valid F1 ticket can receive special walk-in admission savings at the colourful Dempsey attraction. The promotion gives ticket holders 35% off Anytime Tickets or 20% off Premium and Regular Tickets, subject to the promotion’s conditions and ticket-name verification.
Inside are 14 interactive and multi-sensory spaces designed around play, photography and, unsurprisingly, dessert. Visitors can move through the installations at their own pace, with unlimited ice cream served during the experience.
Current standard admission listed by Museum of Ice Cream starts from S$43 for general admission and S$53 for Premium admission, before any applicable F1 promotional discount. Children aged two and under enter free.
The venue is also entirely cashless, so leave the emergency notes in your wallet.
Museum of Ice Cream Singapore is located at 100 Loewen Road, Dempsey, Singapore 248837.
8. Test Your Own Performance at MEURAKI INNERDRIVE®
Formula 1 usually puts the focus on how quickly machines and drivers can perform. MEURAKI’s INNERDRIVE® turns the idea around and asks visitors to find out how they themselves perform under pressure.
Running from 28 September to 11 October, the Singapore-born company’s race-season experience spans Plaza Singapura, Funan and other locations around the city.
At Plaza Singapura, the Performance Circuit consists of six interactive challenges covering speed, reaction, decision-making, recovery, concentration and teamwork. They include IGNITION with REVL Training, REFLEX with Bose, SPLIT SECOND with Timezone, REDLINE with Holistic Way, VORTEX with PRISM+ and GRID with Giti Tire.
Over at Funan, The Podium has a more competitive flavour. Visitors can tackle a 2v2 challenge at the Storyworlds Live Action Arena, try the Timezone Racing Challenge and explore stories from Singapore athletes.
The clever part is that the experience does not end inside either mall. A digital INNERDRIVE® Passport connects visitors to Discovery Trails around Singapore, where check-ins generate Race Points and potential rewards.
There is also a substantial grand prize: a two-night Treehouse stay for two at Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, valued at S$3,800, subject to competition conditions.

Plaza Singapura is located at 68 Orchard Road, Singapore; Funan, 107 North Bridge Road, Singapore 179105.
9. Bring the Kids to the LEGO® F1® Experience at Suntec City
Younger F1 fans may not be ready to discuss tyre degradation strategies, but give them a LEGO race car and the situation changes quickly.
From 1 to 18 October, Suntec City is hosting LEGO® F1® Experience The Thrill, a free experience combining Formula 1 themes with the hands-on creativity of LEGO.
The main activation takes place at the Suntec City Atrium between Towers 3 and 4, where families can work their way through interactive activities and challenges inspired by Formula 1. Complete the required number of stations and there are prizes to be won, giving children slightly more motivation than simply accompanying their parents around a shopping centre.
The experience also spills into the rest of Suntec City through the LEGO 3D Racer Hunt. Ten life-sized LEGO Minifigures and their crews will be positioned around the complex for visitors to find. Those who complete the hunt can stand a chance to win a LEGO set.
With free admission, this is one of the easiest race-season activities to slot around lunch, shopping or another downtown F1 event. It also runs for a full week beyond the Grand Prix itself, which means families can avoid the busiest race-weekend crowds.
Suntec City is located at 3 Temasek Boulevard, Singapore 038983.
10. Shell Singapore x POP MART Bring HACIPUPU’s Racing Adventure to Life
Just in time for the Singapore Grand Prix, Shell Singapore and POP MART are teaming up for HACIPUPU Little Racer’s Great Adventure, bringing exclusive collectibles, interactive activities and plenty of photo-worthy moments across Singapore.
For this special collaboration, HACIPUPU transforms into The Little Racer, with the exclusive Red Dot Racer collectibles featuring Singapore-inspired details such as the Merlion and Marina Bay skyline. Fans can get their hands on the limited-edition collection with qualifying Shell fuel purchases, nett spend at Shell Select stores or Shell Recharge EV charging.
The adventure continues across four immersive Shell pitstops, where visitors can discover HACIPUPU-themed installations, snap photos, collect stamps and complete missions for exclusive rewards.
