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

If there’s one thing about Singapore, it’s that there’s always something happening and this month is no exception. While January was about setting our resolutions for the rest of the year and February was about romance, this month is all about celebration. With International Women’s Day (8 March) shining a spotlight on female empowerment and St. Patrick’s Day injecting a festive buzz in the city, you can definitely expect a wave of events and activations happening across Singapore. That’s not all. Add a fresh crop of pop-ups, new launches and other events, and you’ve got yourself more than enough reasons to step out this week.

So, if you’re looking for new places to check out with your friends or your loved ones, you’ve come to the right place. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some events that are happening in Singapore this March.

The FRIENDS™ Experience (from 7 March) 

If you’ve ever wished you could step straight into an episode of FRIENDS, this immersive pop-up might be the next best thing. Arriving in Singapore this March, the FRIENDS Experience invites fans to revisit the show’s most iconic moments — even if Monica, Chandler, Rachel, Ross, Joey and Phoebe won’t actually be there.

Held at Fever Exhibition Hall, the nostalgia-packed experience will see interactive, recreated sets including Monica’s apartment, the famous fountain and, of course, Central Perk complete with its legendary orange sofa. Here, you can expect plenty of photo-worthy moments, from peeking around Rachel and Monica’s purple door to lounging in Chandler and Joey’s recliners or recreating Ross’ dramatic “pivot” scene. But before you leave, swing by the retail store for exclusive merchandise that you can bring home as a keepsake from your experience. 

The FRIENDS™ Experience is located at Fever Exhibition Hall, 25 Scotts Road

International Women’s Day with CÉ LA VI Singapore (7 March) 

In celebration of International Women’s Day, CÉ LA VI Singapore is hosting a special evening party headlined by Paris-based DJ and producer Adassiya, who will be making her Singapore debut. Expect deep and organic house sets to soundtrack the night, before long-time LA VIE EN BLEU curators KUNDA (Max Verrier and Labaude) take over the decks after sunset to keep the energy going throughout the night.

To mark the launch, New Balance will be hosting a one-weekend-only pop-up at Trifecta Riders Lounge in town, where you can put the Ellipse to the test. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just getting started, the event is open to all, with on-site trials and curated touchpoints that let you experience the new silhouette firsthand.

adidas Evo SL Run (8 March) 

By now, you’ve probably seen the Adizero EVO SL on more than a few runners around town. The buzzy silhouette quickly became a staple in the local running scene and it’s now back with an update. This time, the refreshed version features a newly engineered woven mesh upper made with multi-stretch material, delivering targeted support while maintaining breathability and comfort for everyday miles.

Alongside the update, adidas is also introducing the Adizero Evo SL ATR, which is an all-terrain evolution that extends Adizero performance beyond paved roads. Designed for added versatility, it’s built to handle changing surfaces and unpredictable weather, so you’re covered wherever your run takes you.

To mark the launch, adidas will be hosting a community run on 8 March in partnership with easypaceonly. At the event, you can expect a quick morning run followed by post-run activities at OPEN DOOR Store, where participants can also stand a chance to win a pair of the Adizero Evo SL simply by joining the run.
