Chill Out, De-Stress & Soak In The After Dark Vibes At Capitol Singapore & CHIJMES This Singapore Night Festival

Looking for a date night activity that’s both romantic and relaxing? A fun hangout with your stressed-out friend group? Or perhaps some peaceful “me time”? Head to Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES!

This Singapore Night Festival (SNF 2025), from 22 August to 6 September 2025, the two beautiful, heritage attractions will take on an extra glow when the sun sets. Slow down, breathe, and bask in the sights of light projection shows, installations and calming activities.

This year’s SNF theme, Island Nights, is inspired by our heritage as an island-nation, reflecting our porous relation between islands, trade routes and maritime links.

Capitol Singapore’s Outdoor Plaza is now buzzing with happenings including a nostalgic yet thought-provoking art installation, therapeutic workshops, and heavenly scented freebies with purchase.

At the heart of the festival is Kampong Chill by Yok & Sheryo, a stunning art installation that’s more than just aesthetic content for Instagram. It's a gentle ‘no’ to the pressures of schedules and being perpetually busy, and instead, a firm ‘yes’ to the unappreciated advantages of inefficiency, daydreaming, and simply sitting still.

22 Aug - 6 Sep
Sun - Thu: 7.30pm - 11pm | Fri - Sat: 7.30pm - 12am
