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.
