Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations 2025 (牛车水中秋节庆祝活动2025), Singapore’s annual Mooncake Festival celebration in the heart of the city’s traditional Chinese quarter, returns from 18 September – 20 October 2025.
In keeping with tradition, the streets of Chinatown will come alive with vibrant lanterns and light displays, illuminating the area from 7pm each evening. This year’s decorations will not only showcase the spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival but also celebrate Singapore’s 60th anniversary with the theme “60 Glorious Years: Celebrating Mid-Autumn in Singapore 辉煌六十载, 月满新加坡”.
Beyond the stunning lights and decorations, visitors can immerse themselves in a variety of traditional and cultural activities, including a festive bazaar, weekend stage performances, a tea appreciation gathering, a mass lantern walk, a lantern design competition, and lantern riddle games. It’s the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with family and friends against the enchanting backdrop of Chinatown’s iconic streets.
