There's nothing like enjoying your time at a pasar malam in Singapore for a dose of nostalgia.
Sure, you can find nostalgic local snacks like muah chee, Ramly burger, vadai, Taiwan sausage, cotton candy, tea egg, putu piring, and keropok lekor elsewhere. But nothing beats the rush, vibes, smells, and overall experience of a pasar malam (night market in Malay). We’ve gathered a great mix of upcoming pasar malams in Singapore so you can enjoy the best of local street food, vibrant performances, and an unforgettable atmosphere.
Pasar malam in Singapore: The origins

Back in the mid-1950s, weekly pasar malams were organised by hawkers near British military bases. The number of markets increased over the next decade as they were located near public and private housing estates, providing easy access to food, snacks, clothing, footwear and even household furnishings.
However, the pasar malams were slowly phased out in 1978 due to the requirement of licensing. They were believed to be the cause of traffic congestion, noise pollution and public health problems. These street hawkers moved to hawker centres – that’s why we have a prominent number of them today.
Later on, the night markets made a comeback in the 1980s with strict government control measures. Today, you’ll notice that the night events pop up during festive occasions around Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa and Deepavali.
Excited to check ‘em out? We’ve rounded up a list of ongoing pasar malams in Singapore.
