If you’ve been keeping yourself at home most of February due to Covid-19 and looking for something fun to do this week, we have a multitude of events coming up. From the return of Garden Beats, to a rooftop reggae party with mouth-watering Jamaican food. Looking for a momentary escape from reality? Whisk yourself away to a simple village in the 1930s through an interactive theatre production.

Garden Beats 2020

Singapore’s pioneer carbon-neutral music fiesta returns for its sixth year with a larger space and two stages. With activities planned around music, art and conscious living, your day is set. Jam to live music by headliners like rock band FOALS and indie duo Gioli & Assia amongst others, explore interactive art installations and get involved in the sustainability movement via thought-provoking discussions and workshops. Don’t worry about going hungry – foodpanda’s Food Village is staffed with a variety of restaurants like Fat Prince, Don Ho, and Papi’s Tacos to keep you fuelled.

Garden Beats 2020 is happening 29 February 2020, 1pm – 10.30pm at Fort Gate, Fort Canning Park, River Valley Rd, Singapore 179037. Entry prices begin from S$148 for regular tickets or S$138 per pax for groups of 5+, via Ticketmelon. Use promo code GBXCITYNOMADS10 for 10% off.

Good Dates Bad Dates

If the concept of romance and courtship has always befuddled you, HAFI’s solo art show is definitely up your alley. A Singapore based artist who has had her fair share of dates gone wrong turns her personal experiences into visual interpretations, through her quirky, cartoon-inspired illustrations alongside live visuals by fellow moving image artist Clara Lim, who goes by the pseudonym Clarrot.

Good Dates Bad Dates is opening on February 27, 7.30pm at Oxley Bizhub Singapore and will run till 15 March. Admission is free. Register here.
