Immerse yourself in Chinatown’s vibrant heritage as we uncover the intriguing customs and traditions of the Hungry Ghost Festival (7th Lunar Month), a time when the line between the living and the spirit world is thought to be blurred. Experience an unforgettable one-night-only experience celebrating the time-honoured traditions of the Lunar 7th Month right in the heart of Chinatown! You’ll be among the privileged few with a seat at Chinatown’s exclusive dinner which is usually by invite-only.
The Lunar 7th Month holds deep significance in Singapore’s cultural tapestry. It is believed that the gates of the afterlife open during this month, allowing spirits to roam freely among the living. Chinese partake in rituals, performances, and feasts to honour and appease these wandering souls. One of the key activities is the “live auction”, where participants loudly bid for auspicious items, believing that winning these items will bring good fortune.
