Ice cream, good vibes, and a whole lot of happiness — that’s the plan for this weekend!
1. Turn Up the Summer Energy with the CapitaLand Summer Ice Cream Fest
Singapore’s summer is getting an ultra-sweet upgrade this July with not one, but two ice cream-themed events set to delight dessert lovers and music fans alike.
From 18 to 24 July 2026, the Summer Ice Cream Fest will transform Plaza Singapura into a frozen treat paradise. The week-long celebration brings together major brands including Magnum, Ben & Jerry’s and Wall’s, offering visitors the chance to customise premium ice cream bars with gourmet toppings, sample exciting new flavours such as the Churrifically Churros-y creation, and revisit childhood memories with classic bread-wrapped ice cream served by a beloved local uncle.
Beyond the desserts, festival-goers can enjoy interactive games with over S$43,000 worth of exclusive merchandise up for grabs, alongside live music performances that will keep the atmosphere buzzing throughout the weekend. Whether you’re an ice cream connoisseur or simply looking for a fun day out, this sweet-filled festival promises plenty of reasons to indulge.
2. Museum of Ice Cream Hosts the Ultimate Free Dessert Bash
Get ready to beat the equatorial heat with Singapore’s most delicious celebration of the year. On Sunday, 19 July 2026, the Museum of Ice Cream (MOIC) is turning National Ice Cream Day into a public festival packed with sweet treats and playful experiences. From 10am to 6pm, the venue is opening its doors for completely free entry, ensuring a lively day out for families, friends, and even furry companions at their pet-friendly Dessert Bar and Cafe. Visitors can cool down with a complimentary ice cream cone and jump straight into the iconic outdoor Sprinkle Pool, which will be accessible to the public at no cost for this special occasion.
The festivities do not stop at the door, as a massive digital giveaway promises to keep the sugar rush going all year long. By participating in the museum’s Instagram contest, lucky dessert lovers stand a chance to walk away with one of four annual memberships. These exclusive passes offer unlimited access to the pastel paradise and a host of member perks. Whether you are diving into a pool of giant sprinkles or simply enjoying a refreshing scoop, this single-day extravaganza is set to be the ultimate summer block party for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Available from 15 July to 31 August 2026, the partnership revives some of Ka-Soh’s most iconic dishes, including its signature Fish Noodle Soup (S$18++), recreated with premium grouper fish, and the crowd-favourite Prawn Paste Chicken Mid Wings (S$15++/8pcs). The collaboration pays tribute to a culinary legacy that began as a humble pushcart at Great World Amusement Park in 1939 and later earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand accolade in 2016.
Guests can enjoy the nostalgic flavours through an exclusive three-course set menu for two (S$58++), while frozen soup packs will also be available for those who wish to bring a taste of Ka-Soh home. Whether you’re revisiting a longtime favourite or discovering the brand for the first time, this heritage-inspired collaboration offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Singapore’s most cherished food icons once again.
