Shop and eat to your heart's content without flying to Thailand at Artbox Singapore.
To the fans of this much-loved food festival – you won’t have to pack your bags and jet set to Bangkok because Artbox Singapore returns in 2025! For the uninitiated, think of Artbox as a pasar malam, except the number of stalls is scaled way up. Hosted over the course of two weekends (17 to 19 and 24 to 26 January), you’ll want to set aside your whole day to explore this event. Street food stalls, shops selling vintage fare, artisanal crafts, and more will entertain you for hours!

The 2025 details at a glance
Artbox Singapore will take over the entirety of Singapore Expo Hall 4, transporting a taste of the wonderful world of Bangkok and beyond onto our little island. This time, the event brings over 600 vendors from Singapore, Thailand, Korea, and Malaysia alongside a multitude of new activities and experiences for you to participate in.
Let’s not forget the food. We’re expecting over 90 F&B stalls around the hall serving up an array of cuisines from all over the world. It’s also worth noting that Artbox Singapore is a ticketed event, so be sure to purchase them before heading down.
What’s new at Artbox Everyday
For the first time ever, Artbox Singapore will be debuting Trade Day – a collaboration between local businesses, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders. It’s all about supporting local businesses and making art more accessible for the people.
Artbox Express (a mobile gallery bus service) will bring art directly to the public, transforming the space into an immersive experience. Artbox ticket holders will get round-trip transport at just $0.50 to check out creative takeovers by Phunk Collective. And thanks to the Artbox Convenience Store, you’ll get to experience art through retail! A curated line of products from prominent local artists will be available for you to purchase.
The Void Deck will be the hot new community space where you can participate in a bunch of new activities. We’re talking open mic karaoke sessions powered by Teo Heng, chess games with the Aliwal Chess Club, and even an enrichment centre for the kiddos where they can doodle on t-shirts and experience speech and drama lessons.
Artbox 2025: Food stalls you must visit
1. After You
A true highlight of Artbox 2025 is the highlight of the food area. Thailand’s very own dessert cafe, After You, will be part of the festivities thanks to the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Now you don’t have to fly to Thailand for the signature Shibuya honey toast and Nutella toast. Psst: you can pre-purchase the desserts before the event and then redeem them when you get to Artbox!

2. The Sohtt Collective
If you’ve missed Sohtt which was once located at ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre, catch the brand at Artbox instead! You can’t miss out on the innovative taco creations either. Topped with mentaiko crab, lobster salad, sukiyaki beef, and teriyaki unagi, these are bites you must try.

3. Slurp Your Oysters
Huge and fresh oysters from the Hyogo prefecture? Sign us up. Flash-frozen for optimum freshness, tuck into these beauties at Slurp Your Oysters’ booth. While we believe oysters with lemon juice and Tobasco are the way to go, typical booth offerings include unique toppings like mango salsa, garlic chilli, gulmuchim, and torched mentaiko.

4. Meat My Meat
Frequent pasar malam goers might be familiar with Meat My Meat, a stall that pops up often serving up halal Philly cheesesteaks. Packed with flavour, slathered in homemade sauce and topped with torched cheese, it’s truly a treat.
