Asian Village Festival 2025 (AVF 2025), the second edition of the Asian food and retail fair, will return from 16 – 18 May 2025 at the Singapore Expo. Building on the success of its inaugural event, this year’s festival carries the theme “Nostalgia”, celebrating cherished memories through a showcase of food, products, and cultural performances.
Families can look forward to a fun-filled experience, with giant bouncy castles, balloon igloos, and exciting slides keeping the little ones entertained throughout the fair.
