South Beach turns into the setting for the Good Times Festival, a 12-night run of live music, sharing plates and drinks curated by Vamps Production, running from 21 September to 2 October 2026 at JW Marriott Singapore South Beach’s Grand Ballroom outdoor terrace.
The festival runs nightly from 5.30pm to 10.30pm under the canopy that has become one of the more recognisable silhouettes within Marina Bay. It is billed as the first festival of its kind in the area, and the ambition is straightforward: give the after-work crowd somewhere to go that isn’t a bar or a restaurant booking, but something in between.
What to Expect at Good Times Festival
Music runs in two sets each evening: a Sundowner Set from 6pm to 7pm, easing into a Main Stage Set from 7.45pm to 10pm. The line-up leans into nostalgia and feel-good genres over anything niche, with acts including Havana Social Club, Hidhir and Dansen John moving between soul, pop and Latin rhythms across the run.
Entry to the festival grounds is free, with standing and walk-in seating available on a first-come basis. If you would rather not stand around waiting for a table, guaranteed seating is bookable from S$10 for a table of two, scaling up to S$50 for a table of ten. There are also pre-order sharing bundles that combine food with drinks: Bundle A (S$55 nett, two persons) gets a platter of grilled bratwurst, weiss wurst and snail sausage with a choice of two drinks; Bundle B (S$106 nett, four persons) adds 400g of grilled spring baby chicken to that same spread with a choice of four drinks; and Bundle C (S$178 nett, six persons) steps up to the full JW signature spread alongside the grilled spring baby chicken, plus a choice of six drinks. À la carte options span roasted pork knuckle, grilled spring baby chicken, veal schnitzel, maple honey chicken karaage and mini beef sliders, with Heineken and Aperol anchoring the drinks list.
