Joining forces with Lendlease, the festival is taking place from now till August 13, transforming the four Lendlease malls into vibrant hubs of creativity – 313@somerset, Jem, Parkway Parade and Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ).
Founded back in 2002, the Singapore Street Festival offers a platform for talented youth in Singapore to shine and showcase their talents in the performing and visual arts. This year, the festival coincides with Lendlease's 50th anniversary in Singapore, bringing a plethora of events, activities and exciting shopping deals.
The festival kicked off proper at PLQ last Friday (July 7), captivating shoppers with a show-stopping line-up of performances, including belly dancing, a street soccer spectacle and a guest appearance from Thai girl group Pretzelle.
But that's just a glimpse of what's in store at this year's Singapore Street Festival. Here's what else to keep your eyes peeled for.
Curious to know what the next 50 years will look like? Head over to Jem, Parkway Parade and PLQ, and check out the graffiti and mural paintings on display.
As part of this year's Street Art competition, artworks around the theme 'Build on our 50 (years) for the next 50' are on display around the three Lendlease malls as an ode to Lendlease's 50 years in Singapore.
Another stunning street art installation is also up at 313@somerset. In line with the same theme, acclaimed artists such as Antz, Race Krehel, Taketo Kobayashi and TraseOne were invited to create artworks that envision the next 50 years.
From unthinkable technology to a reimagined Singapore, you can get a peek into the future through the eyes of these artists.
