Things to do in Singapore this week: 22 to 28 June

June has that lull. Most of us are slipping away for short trips or stealing a long weekend, yet the city quietly hums with life. If you’re staying put, fret not. The city is still buzzing with lots of activities for you to check out over the next few weeks. For instance, new events centred around the World Cup season, playful pop‑ups, bartenders pouring bright summer cocktails, art that lights up the Marina Bay promenade, and a sprawling food‑and-music village to stroll through after dusk. 

For a full list of things to do in Singapore in June, keep scrolling through.

Asia Cat Expo (27 to 28 June) 

Calling all feline pawrents! The Asia Cat Expo is back at Suntec Convention Centre on 27 and 28 June, and this year it’s taking over not one, not two, but four entire halls. And let’s just say that it’s shaping up to be a jam-packed weekend for you and your furbabies, with enough programmes and stalls to keep you busyfor hours. Here, you can sit in on talks from the experts covering everything from health and behaviour to nutrition and litter box training, or join a workshop and pick up a new skill while you’re at it. There’s an adoption drive for anyone ready to give a cat its forever home, stalls stacked with food, treats, and toys from brands worth supporting, and not to mention, a grooming competition where you’ll get to witness some of the most talented groomers go head-to-head as they give the cats some amazing transformations.

If you’re already at Suntec City this weekend, swing by Halls 401 and 402 for the Hobbies Fair. As its name suggests, the event is packed with performances, talks, and community showcases all day long. It’s the kind of event that opens your eyes to hobbies you didn’t even know existed, and you might find a new one to obsess over. Expect booths like Mox Monsters, where a local hobbyist-turned-toymaker walks you through how he built his own toy factory from scratch, plus an introduction to Tahitian dance and a string of interactive zones and demos to fill up your weekend. And the best part? If you’ve already got tickets to the Asia Cat Expo, you can also get access to Hobbies Fair too.

‘A Mirror’ play (26 June to 12 July) 

Don’t let the wedding bells fool you. Making its debut under Pangdemonium, ‘A Mirror’ is a twisty, satirical play from British playwright Sam Holcroft, directed by Tracie Pang, that digs into censorship, state control, and the slippery nature of truth itself, all wrapped up in the cover story of a wedding in an unnamed totalitarian state. It was originally staged in London, and it has finally arrived on our shores for those eager to watch the highly acclaimed show. 

‘A Mirror’ play is located at Singtel Waterfront Theatre, 8 Raffles Avenue, Singapore 039802 

Juju World (20 June to 18 July)

Just when the Cj Hendry craze seemed to be winding down, the Australian artist herself will be bringing the world’s first inflatable experience built around her beloved collectible character to the IMBA Theatre. Juju World is a ticketed event that marks the series’ debut in yellow, a new colourway created specifically for this run. Singapore will also get its own limited-edition, oversized Jujus that won’t appear anywhere else once the show closes. Known for turning everyday objects into surreal, larger-than-life installations, Hendry has built a global following on making art feel playful and accessible, and this event, alongside her free-to-visit Flower Market event that happened recently is her most ambitious Southeast Asian showing yet.

Juju World is located at IMBA Theatre at the West Lawn, next to Bayfront Plaza, Gardens by the Bay

i Light Singapore (5 to 28 June) 

i Light Singapore returns this June, lighting up Marina Bay and spilling into Raffles Place for a quiet, walkable festival that feels part gallery, part neighbourhood evening out. Organised by the URA and presented by UOB, this year’s edition brings 14 light installations by 17 artists — more than ten of them from Singapore and across Asia — so the work leans local and regional rather than spectacle.

Built around the theme of Movement, the festival invites you to slow down and notice how small gestures—steps, touches, breaths—can ripple into something larger. Expect pieces that gently animate the waterfront: meditative water ripples, a reimagined “fishing” play with the sun, and other works that pull you into the frame and make you a participant rather than a bystander. It’s an easy evening out: wander between sites, stop to reflect, and let the light prompt conversations you wouldn’t usually have.

I Light Singapore is located around the Marina Bay area 

GastroBeats (5 to 28 June)

In line with i Light Singapore at Marina Bay, GastroBeats returns for its fifth edition from 5 to 28 June, laying out three weeks of food, music and easygoing community moments at the Bayfront Event Space.

Expect familiar favourites and fresh faces across more than 40 vendors, live acts that soundtrack the evening, and new ways to linger: family play zones, pickleball courts, and an elevated dining strand called GastroBeats Spotlights. As i Light Singapore’s official Festival Village, the site hums with light-led activity, while brand activations from Coca‑Cola, Carlsberg, EPIC, Tiger Brokers and Zouk add little pockets of theatre and comfort throughout. It’s the perfect activity to check with your family or even bring your little furkids out to. 

GastroBeats is located at Bayfront Event Space

Crystalgold Summer White Spirits Takeover (1 June to 31 July) 

You might have remembered Chivas Regal Crystalgold that was first introduced during last year’s Singapore Formula 1 season. This year, the spirit returns this summer with a more focused, local rollout. Running through June and July, the Crystalgold Summer White Spirits Takeover will see a series of bar pop-ups and small, music-led gatherings across the city. Some of these bars include Last Word, Side Door, Bae’s Cocktail Club, LAVO and Jungle Ballroom, all of which will run limited-time menus that rework classics and try lighter, more social serves: think bright highballs and spritzes alongside spirit-forward formats. 

On 20 June Groovetop stages a party that’ll lean into funk and groove, while Blackout Agency’s Secret Loft Party on 27 June turns a tucked-away industrial space into an intimate, underground night.

Around the city, partner bars like Night Hawk, Origin Bar and KOSSA are serving bold, flavour‑forward spins on the classic, each with its own personality and tasting profile. The fun continues at the Singapore Cocktail Crossover Festival (13 to 14 June) with a Neon Pigeon collaboration, and selected retailers offer Monkey Lazy Old Fashioned QR codes so you can mix the twists at home. It’s perfect, especially if you’re looking for after‑work drinks or a night out in the city with friends.

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory The Musical (19 May to 14 June)

For those who need a quick refresher: the story follows young Charlie Bucket, who stumbles upon a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s legendary chocolate factory. Along with a handful of other lucky winners, he steps through those famous gates expecting nothing more than candy and wonder. What he gets instead? An extraordinary adventure packed with unexpected twists, fantastical creations, and buckets of pure imagination.

This musical adaptation features music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman, and a book by David Greig. You’ll get to relive iconic songs from the original film, plus brand-new numbers crafted by the award-winning songwriting duo behind Hairspray.

SCWO New2U’s Mid-Year Bazaar (5 to 7 June)

The SCWO New2U Mid-Year Bazaar is a relaxed, three-day affair for anyone who enjoys the quiet thrill of secondhand shopping. Happening from 5th to 7th June, the event is less about frantic bargain-hunting and more about rummaging through thoughtfully curated pieces. Think: everyday shirts from $1–$5, half-price staples, jewellery deals like 4 for $10, generous markdowns on designer labels and 20% off the Black Label selection.  

What makes it nicer than a typical sale is the pace: people linger, chat, and swap styling tips, so it’s a good chance to stumble on something unexpected that actually fits your life. Everything supports a meaningful cause, too, so your find feels good in more ways than one. 

New2U Mid-Year Bazaar is located at 96 Waterloo Street

Here, at the UV Tech Experience Zone, UV-reactive flowers change colour under ultraviolet light so you can actually see how everyday sun exposure works and how UNIQLO’s UV pieces help block harmful rays. There’s also a sunglasses try-on area to help you find a pair that actually suits your face and your plans for the season.

On top of that, if you’re a UNIQLO App member, there are a couple of small perks that you can look forward to at the pop-up. For instance, you can snap and share your pop-up experience on social to get a free sunglasses voucher with a min. spend of S$100 at UNIQLO Bugis+ — limited to the first 200 redemptions daily across five designs while stocks last — and you can also redeem a complimentary 10g Bioré UV Airy Hold Cream sample (first 1,000 qualifying visitors daily).
