Experience the magic of the Northern Lights at Gardens by the Bay's Supertree Grove. From May 4 onwards, a spellbinding outdoor installation called Borealis will light up the Supertrees in a display reminiscent of the polar lights you'd normally have to travel to Iceland, Sweden, or other far-flung regions to witness. It's the work of Switzerland-based artist Dan Acher, who has ingeniously layered light beams and cloud particles to create a mesmerising dance of light and colour. Coupled with an atmospheric score by French composer Guillaume Desbois, Borealis promises to be an out-of-this-world experience. Admission is free – find out more here.
May is nothing short of a-may-zing. It kicks off with Labour Day, bringing a blessed mid-week breather. There there's Mother’s Day on May 12, where we celebrate the queens in our lives.
That’s not all – there are plenty more dates to save too. Festivals such as Singapore HeritageFest, i Light Singapore, SIFA, and European Film Festival are all making a comeback this month, and each promises to be even bigger than the last. Other may-jor events to fill up your calendar include an exhibition centred on iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, a mesmerising Northern Lights display at Gardens by the Bay, and concerts by the likes of Niall Horan and Elijah Woods. With so much to see and do, you’re in for one sweet, sweet month.
