Great for active folks who want to get their blood and adrenaline pumping, NParks Parks Festival and Pets’ Day Out will also feature a wide range of activities such as the Imagination Playground by ActiveSG, Piloxing and KpopX Fitness by ActiveGroove, and LTA’s Move Happy Cycling Festival.

Children can have a blast at the outdoor ball pit and inflatable play area, and your canine friends can also join in the fun at the dog agility course!

Whether you have a pet or simply just love animals, get your fill of interaction with adorable critters at the event! Snap photographs with the colourful feathered friends of BirdCraze, connect with the animals up for adoption and learn more from the volunteers from animal welfare groups, or enjoy a free pet health check and micro-chipping service* by vets from the Animal and Veterinary Service.

*Note: Prior registration is required for the free pet health check sessions and micro-chipping services, which can be done here.

Those with kids can also sign them up for Petzmania, where they can learn basic pet care and what it means to be a responsible pet owner through role-playing games. Otherwise, let your children try their hand at becoming a junior vet, pet groomer, or trainer for a day – who knows, it might be the start of a fulfilling career!

5. Take a trip down memory lane

Featuring local acts Enigma, Jive Talkin’, SuperSonic, The Common People, and The Jukuleles, expect nostalgic covers of hits by Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, One Republic, Pitbull, and many more.
