Things to do in Singapore this week: 2 to 8 February 

February is one of those months that always zooms by. With Valentine’s Day and Lunar New Year around the corner, your calendar is probably already filling up, whether it’s date nights, girls’ plans, or catching up with family and friends. Naturally, with such a packed month ahead, you can expect plenty of activities happening all around the island.

This month alone brings a lineup of pop-ups like the BYD by 1826 IMM Lifestyle Hub opening and House of Martell at ION Orchard, parties hosted by W Singapore, and electrifying shows like Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza taking centre stage at Bayfront Event Space. With so much going on, you definitely won’t run out of things to do in Singapore.

Cirque du Soleil: Kooza (6 February to 19 March) 

Cirque du Soleil shows are always a spectacle, and this one is no different. Running from 6 February to 19 March at Bayfront Event Space, the production promises jaw-dropping moments that keep you on the edge of your seat, with talented artistes delivering one heart-racing act after another.

This time, the troupe brings Kooza — which means “box” or “treasure” — built around the idea of a circus in a box. Expect a dazzling mix of high-stakes acrobatics, striking visuals and classic humour woven together seamlessly. Highlights include contortionists performing mind-bending routines and performers taking on gravity-defying stunts on the Wheel of Death.

The House of Martell pop-up (5 to 12 February) 

Just in time for Lunar New Year, Martell has unveiled its latest pop-up at ION Orchard, inviting visitors to step into an interactive space celebrating the festive season. Open to the public with complimentary entry, one of the first highlights to check out is the Martell-infused gelato created in collaboration with Messina. 

As you explore the pop-up, stop by The Calligraphy Salon to create customised couplets with a local calligrapher, or head to The Martell Courtyard to unwind with a complimentary Martell cocktail. These touchpoints add a festive, experiential layer that goes beyond just browsing.

Before you leave, take time to explore the Chinese New Year limited-edition collection, featuring Martell Cordon Bleu and Martell VSOP paired with exclusive gifts with purchase — a popular pick among visitors and already selling fast.
