Lights by the Lake @Jurong Lake Gardens

Opening hours
Address

Journey into a world of enchanting illuminations at Jurong Lake Gardens from 27 September to 12 October 2025.

As twilight descends each evening from 6:30pm to 10:30pm, the gardens transform into a magical realm where ancient tales come alive through spectacular lantern displays.

This year's exhibition features an immersive Journey to the West experience, where visitors can walk amongst intricate lantern displays depicting the legendary tales of Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, and their companions. From the dramatic Five Elements Mountain to the mystical Spider Demon Cave, each installation tells a chapter of this beloved story through stunning craftsmanship and innovative lighting design.

Wheelchair-accessible paths are available at selected areas, and guided tours with sign language interpreters are available, making the magical experience more inclusive for all visitors. Don't forget to try our Lantern Exploration Quest on the NEAR app for an exclusive Jurong Lake Gardens pin (while stocks last)!

The beloved NParks Concert Series in the Park: Rockestra® returns to a new venue at Ficus Lawn in Chinese Garden, promising evenings of musical excellence under the stars.

In celebration of inclusive arts, the festival features captivating performances by talented artists, alongside cultural showcases by ArtsEverywhere@CDC. The collaboration with PAssionArts Festival brings additional vibrancy to the celebrations, while traditional lantern riddles add to the festive atmosphere.
