What is GastroBeats?
GastroBeats started in 2022 to showcase the vibrancy of Singaporean culture by marrying food, music, games and entertainment. It doesn’t exist as a standalone event but integrates seamlessly with i Light Singapore 2024 which is happening concurrently. The festival is set to return for its third edition this year, with an exciting lineup of culinary delights, live musical performances, carnival games, and lifestyle booths.
For the first time ever, there will be an Indonesian Zone by the Indonesian Embassy, featuring Indonesian food and retail stores, as well as cultural performances. This year’s event is also pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furkids along for the fun. And in the spirit of going green, a range of sustainably-produced food items will be available, and no plastic straws will be provided.
