Marrying food, music and fun is Gastrobeats, coming back this June to Bayfront Event Space. Held in conjunction with i Light Singapore from June 1 to 25, the festival will bring three weeks of gastro treats, live performances, and family-friendly activities.
Putting the 'gastro' in Gastrobeats are thematic food streets bringing you your favourite cuisines from all over the world – Taiwan Food Street and Thailand Food Street are just two that you can look forward to. Stuff yourself silly at local hawker booths too, where there'll be a spread of signature dishes and street food classics.
Do you pride yourself on being a big eater? Take up the Gastrobeats Chomp Champs challenge, where you'll be pitted against Singapore's number one competitive eater, Zermatt Neo. It's a race against the clock, Zermatt, and other foodies to eat as many sliders, tacos, and other delicious dishes as you can.
Don't forget the 'beats' part of this festival. A flurry of local acts will be lighting up the Gastrobeats stage over four weekends, with genres running the gamut of pop, rock, jazz, hip hop, and more. Stay tuned for the full music line-up on the official Gastrobeats website.
Those with kids, this one's for you. Gastrobeats is bringing back its signature bouncy castle carnival – but with an interesting twist. Children can embark on a space-themed adventure at Kiztopia Friends at Jumptopia, a gigantic inflatable playground complete with slides, towering obstacles, bouncy castles, ball pits and water play areas. To complete the festival experience, you can also win prizes at claw machines and carnival games, or take photos at the many photo spots on the event grounds.
Gastrobeats is happening at the Bayfront Event Space from June 1 to 25, and admission is completely free. Stay updated on the upcoming event at gastrobeats.com.sg or follow its Instagram and Facebook.
