Say it with us and say it slow: It’s a looooong weekend! Plenty of time to work your way down this kickass list of curated cultural events, parties and markets.
Theatre: Singapore Repertory Theatre’s The Truth
Friday & Saturday, 19 – 20 April
Drama lovers, you need to catch this witty and comedic play this Friday or Saturday. Have you read our review yet? Long story short, it’s about sex, lies and best friends’ wives. Michael is having an affair and cover it up with lies that get bigger and bigger. But the truth, when revealed, proves to be far from straightforward. Written by French award-winning playwright Florian Zeller and translated by Christopher Hampton, Singapore Repertory Theatre’s The Truth will have you rolling in the aisles.

See: Explore Jewel Changi
All weekend
Sure, it officially opens doors on 17 April but we reckon this long weekend is the perfect opportunity to explore Changi Airport’s newest jewel. Trust us when we say, it’s a glorious Jurassic Park by day and Pandora by night place where you can shop and eat. There’s so much to do there, you could easily spend a whole day wandering, eating, drinking and splurging. But not before you read about all the local brands that are made us proud.
Drink & Party: Auchentoshan Lawn Party

Uhuh, the iconic single malt whiskey label Auchentoshan is hosting a fun pop-up at Chijmes. Chill at the lawns, make-your-own-cocktails for $10, game booths, photo-walls for groupfies, and nibble on bites from The Berlin Bar, The Modern Izakaya and Harry’s.

Party: Silent Disco at Airzone
Saturday, 20 April
How about going out of your comfort zone this weekend? Cos’ dancing at a silent disco is one thing but doing it while being suspended over five floors on bouncy nets is a whole other ball game. But daredevils, boogie your way through three music channels and defy gravity on Saturday.

Music Festival: Skechers Sundown Festival 2019

Nature: Floral Fantasy at Gardens by the Bay

Guys, there’s a brand new dome to check out and it’s filled with the prettiest blooms from around the world. Go see how flowers, artistry and technology have come together across four amazing landscapes – the lush and vibrant of Dance, the bubbling brook in the Float, the rain oasis and waterfall in the Waltz and the cave-like space of the Drift… and a 4D ride titled Flight of the Dragonfly. Makes for a great date or OOTD shoot spot!
