About

The Istana, Singapore’s presidential palace, will open its gates for a special Chinese New Year Open House, offering a rare chance for the public to explore its historic grounds. Whether you’re soaking in the festive atmosphere or simply looking for an enriching way to spend the holiday, this is the perfect outing for families and individuals alike.

This open house is not just for those celebrating Chinese New Year—it’s also an excellent opportunity for non-Chinese communities to experience the vibrancy of the festivities. With Singapore slowing down during the long holiday, this event provides an exciting option for everyone to enjoy cultural performances, scenic gardens, and interactive activities within the iconic Istana grounds. Instead of a quiet break, why not immerse yourself in this lively celebration and witness the grandeur of one of Singapore’s most significant landmarks?

A key highlight of the event is the cultural performances, featuring an array of traditional Chinese dances, instrumental showcases, and festive lion dance performances that embody the spirit of Chinese New Year.

The Istana’s vast and beautifully maintained gardens will also be open for visitors to explore, offering a peaceful and scenic retreat amidst the celebrations. Additionally, there will be interactive activities suitable for all ages, making it a fantastic experience for families with young children.
