Expect lots of exciting new and returning activities at Annual Sands For Singapore Charity Festival!
Since 2013, the past four editions of the Sands for Singapore Charity Festival have collectively raised over S$16 million for local charities.
This year, bask in the spirit of giving at a series of fun and meaningful events to raise funds for charities while having a good time:
-
8 Sept: The Sichuan Orchestra of China Concert
Begin the Sands For Singapore Charity Festival on the right note with a concert by The Sichuan Orchestra of China! With Singaporean music maestro Darrell Ang at the helm, the Orchestra will perform in Singapore for the first time at the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands. Internationally renowned South Korean pianist Cho Seong-Jin will also make a special appearance during the concert to perform his interpretation of Chopin’s "First Concerto". Proceeds from the concert’s ticket sales will go towards Art Outreach's IMPART Awards Scholarship Fund.

8, 9 and 10 Sept: Sundown Picnic
Join in an evening of food, drink and music in a cosy picnic setting at their very first Sundown Picnic, a new element at this year’s Festival.

8, 9 and 10 Sept: Marina Bay Sands Gives Back
Visit ArtScience Museum, the Sands SkyPark Observation Deck and the Sampan Ride at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands from 8 to 10 September to lend a hand to those in need! All ticket proceeds collected over the three days from these attractions will be donated to local charities to help the underprivileged community.
Beyond raising funds, Marina Bay Sands will also deepen its support for the local arts industry to nurture the next generation of Singaporean talent. It will lend its muscle to local charity Art Outreach Singapore's inaugural IMPART Awards, which will recognise and support the careers of aspiring visual artists and curators in Singapore. Singapore International Film Festival - SGIFF – the IR’s latest designated charity – will also roll out its Marina Bay Sands x SGIFF: Youth Film Project where two aspiring filmmakers will co-produce a short documentary.
