There’s a whole lot of live music and markets this week, from the brand new drinks-focused ALT MKT and local-themed Lets’ Go Jalan Jalan near the city centre to Sunshine Nation’s inaugural IMI Festival. Elsewhere, check out a new exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum and dance to Revision Music’s top beatmakers!

ALT MKT – The Alternative Market

For its debut, the spotlight shines on game-changing local pioneer brewers and distributors like Brewlander & Co.’s John Wei, who currently gypsy brews out of Cambodia’s Kingdom Breweries. Don’t miss out on the daily tasting sessions between 12pm to 3pm and 5pm to 8pm, while other programmes include masterclasses by industry experts, pop-ups by Meat Smith and The Oyster Cart, and music makers such as JAWN, SHAK, and the Baits. Not a bad way to prepare for the festive season, yeah?

ALT MKT – The Alternative Market is happening from 17 to 19 November 2017 at UE Square, from 11am daily. Tickets are priced from $45 for 1-day entry and $80 for a 3-day pass, available via Eventbrite. For more details, check out the event page here.
