Singapore’s Civic District is about to light up like never before for the return of Light to Night Festival. The beloved festival celebrates its 10th edition starting this weekend and spanning four vibrant weekends for the first time in its history. This year’s theme—The Power In Us—is all about celebrating community connection and inviting you to be part of it. Running from January 9 to 31, 2026, visitors can look forward to cool installations, wonderful night activities, projection mapping, and delicious food and beverages stalls. Here’s what to expect at Light to Night 2026 in Singapore.
What are the must-see highlights at this year’s event?
The 2026 Night to Light Singapore Festival centres on the brand-new SANTAI series, designed for relaxation and interaction across the Civic District, by transforming busy public spaces into zones for gathering and contemplation. Key highlights include Rumah Laut (Coastal Home) at the Padang (a stunning installation of indigenous coastal dwellings by artist Firdaus Sani) and the Gathering on the Lawn by Michael Lin, where visitors can walk among glowing artist-designed paper lanterns.
Additionally, you can’t miss the beautiful indoor artwork like Navin Rawanchaikul’s SINGAPORAMA at the Padang Atrium, as well as projection mappings like the facade projection Larut’s Tears at The Arts House. Beyond the instagrammable light projections, the 2026 festival offers action-packed activities. For instance, catch the Sing Song Social Club community choir and Gallery Gigs featuring the likes of Charlie Lim—all while enjoying food and games at the Art X Social: Festival Village.
Excitingly, the Art X Social: Festival Village now stretches from St Andrew’s Road to Empress Lawn for 2026. So families and foodies can enjoy a night of wandering artworks and indulging on street foods together. Plus, there’ll be a Pets Weekend here on the final weekend with pet-friendly vendors and activities.
Wonderfully, Light to Night Singapore 2026 is totally free to explore. Although, some programmes are ticketed for a small fee if you want a deeper dive. Whether you’re looking for a chill night out or a lively art experience…this festival is the place to be this January 2026.
