River Hongbao 2016

The iconic River Hongbao, now in its 30th edition, goes all out with a nine-day long festival. Practically a Singapore tradition, look forward to a showcase of traditional arts and crafts, food stalls, Chinese opera performances, and getai shows. The highlight this year is a performance of Journey to the West by Nanjing City’s Song and Dance Theatre and a themed mural lantern display handcrafted by lantern masters. As usual, a fireworks display will happen every night at 9pm.

River Hongbao is happening from 6 to 14 February 2016 at The Float@Marina Bay. For more information, check out the River Hongbao Facebook page here.

His greatest weakness: spending more money on clothes than he probably should. Find him across the social world as @grimlay
