artists in the form of quality works in theatre, dance and music, and aims to
inspire diverse audiences through great artistic experiences.
The Great Singapore Sale
June – August
It is a big event for bargain-hunting locals and tourists. Known
to Singaporeans as the GSS, this annual sale season is a true highlight for any
shopaholic worth their salt. During the sale, retailers here offer
steep discounts, sometimes up to 70 per cent off their original prices. One
gets to find great deals on just about everything, from fashion to jewellery,
electronics to toys, even spa treatments, hotel stays, F&B and visits to
local attractions for a total lifestyle experience.
Over the years, the scale of the Great Singapore Sale has
grown tremendously. The entire island is transformed into a shopping paradise,
as even shops in the suburban areas join in.
Dragon Boat Festival
In Singapore, a festive atmosphere rules as participants pull
furiously on their oars, leaders beat their drums, flags are waved and
spectators cheer on their favourite teams .
Thumping drumbeats and delicious dumplings are the exciting
ingredients that make the Dragon Boat Festival a sizzler of a festival in
Singapore.
