Asian Village Festival 2024 (AVF 2024), marking its inaugural edition after rebranding from the Mega India Expo, will take place from 3 – 6 October 2024 at the Singapore Expo.
This revitalised food and retail fair goes beyond its original concept, showcasing a rich variety of food, products and performances that represent Singapore’s diverse cultures, including Malay, Muslim and Chinese elements alongside Indian traditions.
As Deepavali (Diwali) approaches, the carnival will include stalls where Hindus can find all their festive essentials, including clothing, cooking supplies and snacks at the bazaar.
