It’s always magical to wander through Singapore’s Chinatown under a canopy of lanterns. And this year, that magic is magnified.

From Sept. 7 to Oct. 20, 2025, Chinatown transforms into a radiant precinct filled with handcrafted displays, cultural programs, and community festivities. The theme, “60 Glorious Years: Celebrating Mid-Autumn in Singapore,” honors the nation’s journey while inviting people of all backgrounds to share in the joy of storytelling and togetherness.

The heart of the celebration is a stunning eight-meter-tall installation featuring the number 60, flanked by rabbits, orchids, and mooncakes set against the Singapore skyline. Streets like New Bridge Road, Eu Tong Sen Street, and South Bridge Road come alive with glowing lotus flowers, jade pendants, and mythical scenes of Chang’e, the moon goddess.

Visitors can also enjoy a rich lineup of events: the Chinatown Festive Fair, Lantern Design Competition, Mass Lantern Walk, and even a Tea Appreciation Gathering. A special Lantern Adoption Programme promotes sustainability by allowing the public to take home lanterns after the festival ends.

Organized by the Chinatown Festival Committee and supported by the Kreta Ayer–Kim Seng Citizens’ Consultative Committee, the festival is a vibrant showcase of Singapore’s multiculturalism and enduring community spirit.

Whether a local or a visitor, this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival offers more than just photo ops because it’s a glowing reminder of resilience, unity, and shared heritage. To explore the full program and plan your visit, head to Chinatown Festivals’ website, Instagram, and Facebook.

Marvel in the majesty of a colossal 40-meter dinosaur cast and journey through 400 million years of Earth’s history at “DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US,” opening at the Science Centre Singapore on October 11, 2025.

In their most ambitious and spectacular showcases yet, Science Centre Singapore and the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum of the National University of Singapore are bringing together two world-renowned exhibitions – the “Dinosaurs of Patagonia” and “Six Extinctions” – for the first time.

Spanning across 3,000 square meters, the exhibition features 33 rare fossils and 60 full-scale models across three interactive zones, offering visitors an unforgettable deep dive into the rise and fall of prehistoric life and the five major mass extinction events that shaped our planet.

Two World-Class Exhibitions, One Epic Experience

At “Dinosaurs of Patagonia,” visitors can step into ancient Patagonia and meet 13 species from one of the world’s most fertile fossil grounds. The exhibition, curated by Museo Paleontológico Egidia Feruglio (MEF), features the colossal Patagotitan mayorum, one of the largest creatures to have ever roamed the Earth.

From there, Gondwana Studios’ “Six Extinctions” takes guests through Earth’s most catastrophic moments, with more than 30 extraordinary displays that tell nature’s greatest upheavals. Visitors will come face-to-face with “Scotty,” the largest Tyrannosaurus rex ever found, and the profound impact on Earth’s vanishing biodiversity.

For a more local experience, Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum will be showcasing a selection of specimens from its own collection to highlight Singapore’s biodiversity challenges. These include the cream-colored giant squirrel (Ratufa affinis affinis) and the rufous-collared kingfisher (Actenoides concretus), both now nationally extinct, alongside cutting-edge scientific methods and analytical tools used to understand and prevent future losses.
