The Singapore Festival of Fun 2018 is excited to announce that it will be increasing its StreetFest fun factor this year with 70 shows spread out over more areas around Clarke Quay. This year, besides the Fountain Square, two more locations Read Bridge and Tan Tye Place has been added to showcase street performances from London’s Covent Garden. Audiences will be able to catch more street acts from the 13th to the 18th of March and move with ease from one area to another around Clarke Quay with this enhanced experience.
The Singapore Festival of Fun is a mega 3-in-one festival comprising three pillars of fun for all ages over ten days during the March school holidays – Magners International Comedy Festival (8-11 March), Nickelodeon Fiesta (10 & 11 March) and Clarke Quay StreetFest (13-18 March).
With the added locations and more than double the number of shows taking place, audiences can expect a more enhanced festival vibe and visitor experience. This non-ticketed festival will have street performers engaging people the minute they enter Clarke Quay
With its three pillars of fun, there's something for everyone:
