For two weekends in August (4–5 Aug, 11–12 Aug 2017), Singapore's Civic District comes alive with art, light, sound – and you're invited!
Held in Singapore's Civic District, the inaugural Civic District Outdoor Festival will transform the district's charming and historical architecture into an extravaganza of multimedia, art installations, stage and music performances, art markets and food streets. Amidst all the excitement, the Padang will also be transformed into a giant picnic area for you and your family and friends to take in the festivities.
With a theme of "When Time Stood Still", the Civic District Outdoor Festival features a projection trail titled, "Hemara's Dream", that follows the journey of two siblings, Hemera and Aether as they embark on an adventure to save Time itself. The entire trail will be projected against the heritage monuments of the Civic District – National Gallery Singapore, The Arts House, Asian Civilisations Museum and Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall.
Don't miss out on other fun activities such as a picnic on the Padang, Aether's Art Market on the Empress Lawn, entertaining music and theatre performances as well as the delectable Hemera's Feast which will be a food street of your favourite foods!
Don't miss out on the festival extravaganza of the year!
