Singapore’s mega light art festival returns to brighten up the cityscape. The much-anticipated i Light Singapore is back this May and June, and it’s shaping up to be its most dazzling edition yet. This year’s theme, To Gather, unites 17 light art installations created by 20 local and international artists. The works will be spread across Marina Bay, South Beach, and new locations along the scenic Singapore River and bustling Raffles Place.
Full details of the installations are still under wraps, but a few highlights have been teased. New exhibits include the Bridge of 1,000 Dreams, which will see Cavenagh Bridge transformed by 1,000 hand-painted bamboo poles, each glowing under UV light.
Another new installation is the Reverse Waterfall at the UOB Plaza. As the name suggests, the visuals mimic a waterfall flowing in the opposite direction, inviting visitors to reflect and uncover different perspectives of reality.
Over at Raffles Place Park is where you’ll find The Guardians, an inflatable garden that boasts images of local flora in bright and beautiful colours.
Another notable piece, Take a walk through the meadow with me, is a floral installation by a group of Singaporean artists. It features 300 flowers crafted from recycled acrylic scraps, brought to life with pressure-sensitive lights that respond to movement. Musical notes play in the background, adding a dreamlike quality as visitors wander through the space. Visitors can get crafty at the Design your own meadow memory workshop and make acrylic charms too.
Piano Walk transforms the outdoor Event Plaza at Marina Bay Sands, where a larger-than-life functional piano allows you to create different melodies with other visitors. You can also stand back and enjoy the original composition playing every 10 minutes.
Urban Oracle blends AI with artistic expression, merging the ancient philosophies of Greece and Rome with modern-day hip-hop lyrics.
GastroBeats will also return to the Bayfront Event space from May 29 to June 22, 2025 with a smorgasbord of food stalls and live music performances. There will also be pet-friendly zones and retail spaces this year.
i Light Singapore 2025 runs from May 29 to June 21, 2025. Stay tuned to our page for the latest updates.
