Festivals, fairs and markets

2. GranTurismo Prisma Pop-up (now till Feb 25)

Maserati is bringing its dazzling GranTurismo Prisma to Singapore! This exclusive pop-up at Dempsey isn’t just an event; it’s a celebration of speed, style, and heritage.

Immerse yourself in the world of Maserati and marvel at the GranTurismo Prisma, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The pop-up will showcase the car in all its glory with a body that’s a canvas of 14 vibrant, hand-painted colours.

Two of these colours point towards the future, whilst the other 12 reflect the most popular GranTurismo models of the past, such as the Amaranto from the 1947 Maserati A6 1.500, and the Oro Longchamps of the 1973 Maserati Khamsin.

It’s a feast for the eyes and the car-enthusiast soul. Even if you aren’t a car enthusiast, you’ll enjoy the visual journey through Maserati’s legacy.

We all know February is the month of love with Valentine’s Day smack in the middle of it. But did you know that February is also when International Golden Retriever Day happens?

The Hammock Market is a biweekly thrift market that happens every other Saturday at Aperia Mall. It gets its name from the way its participating vendors set up their booths — tables and carts are way too boring, so they set up in hammocks!

New clothes, Chinese New Year goodies, festive decorations…there’s a lot to do before Chinese New Year for those of us who celebrate it.

And while you could head down to any old mall to get all these done, there’s a more interesting and meaningful option for those who are tiring of the usual run-of-the-mill fare. 

The Crane Living Lunar New Year Market will feature over 20 local brands selling goods from a wide range of categories: food, clothes, kids, crafts, beauty, home goods, and more. Head down to Crane OCBC Wisma Atria to shop!

What’s a "kindness weekend"? It’s all about celebrating kindness to the planet, to its people, to your body, and to your mind.

This weekend pop-up will feature products from local brands alongside activities and workshops. Entry is free, but certain workshops are paid events.

For example, the Soul-Journey Journaling workshop ($17) by The Journal Chapter will take you through the best journaling techniques to get in touch with your mind and soul.

Dive into the heart of Chinese New Year celebrations at River Hongbao, a sparkling event returning for its 38th edition at Gardens by the Bay in 2024.

This is more than just an event; it’s a vibrant cultural tapestry, showcasing giant lanterns that illuminate local culture and Singaporean life.

Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere, and let the radiant displays captivate your senses. This year, the centrepiece is a 140-metre long Dragon called the Prosperous Year of the Dragon and an 18-metre tall God of Fortune.

Beyond the lanterns and views, enjoy a whirlwind of fringe activities: from electrifying stage performances and cultural exhibitions to a mouth-watering food street.

Plus, join in the fun online! River Hongbao is a feast for the eyes, ears, and taste buds — a perfect blend of tradition and modern celebration.

8. World Market (Feb 17 to 18)

A lot of craft and handmade markets feature local businesses and brands. Don’t get us wrong — we are all for supporting local.

But given the tons and tons of crafters all over the world, wouldn’t it also be a shame to not see what international crafters have to offer?

This is where Crane’s World Market comes in, bringing you vendors from far and wide selling everything from clothes and accessories to food and condiments pass down through the generations.

World Market

• Dates: Feb 17 to 18, 2024
• Time: 10am – 6pm
• Venue: Crane Joo Chiat, 281 Joo Chiat Road Singapore, 427535

9. Doing Good Pop-Up (Feb 17 to 18)

A friend remarked to me the other day that he felt unfulfilled. From his teenage years till now, he didn’t end up doing anything he wanted to do. He just ended up doing what he could do.

And something he wanted to do was to give back and help others the way he had been helped in the past. That spurred him on to look up charitable organisations and non-profits he could possibly carve out some time to volunteer at.

Singapore has more good folks doing good work than you might know, with a wide range of organisations that support various causes for the community, the environment, and the planet.

Crane is shining a spotlight on them this February at their Doing Good Pop-Up. Get to know these social good warriors on Feb 17 to 18, 2024 at Crane OCBC Wisma Atria.

You’ll get to shop foods and produce from local farmers, bakers, gardeners and artisans, with your furbaby by your side!

11. Get Crafty (Feb 24 to 25, 2024)

There is a bone in all of us that appreciates crafty, aesthetic, handmade creations. This February, get up close and personal with the artists you see on your TikTok and Instagram feeds at Crane’s Get Crafty market.

From crochet and scrapbooking to painting and graphics, meet the artists, chat them up about their creative process, and perhaps even go home with one of their pieces.

2. Zalora’s Snap and Drop Programme

[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/C2oTfFrvEtq/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=db4067ea-2fe0-4294-97e7-f9e0db9548bf[/embed]

Zalora is extending its Snap and Drop Programme, a programme that lets you donate your unwanted clothing to reduce the amount of apparel that ends up in landfills.

On top of that, you’ll receive a $10 cashback voucher from Zalora for each clothing drop you make. How does it work? It’s pretty simple:

1. Pack your clothes, shoes, bags and more—basically any fabric item.
2. Snap a photo of your bag of unwanted fabric items in front of the collection box at any of these drop-off locations.
3. Drop your items into the collection box. You’ll also want to note down the collection box number (SG0XXX) on the front of the box.
4. Fill in this form to get your cashback! You can only redeem this once a month, and the cashback expires in one month.

For this initiative, Zalora is partnering with Life Line Clothing, a Malaysia-based zero waste textile collector.

They’ll sort the donated items and resell the apparel in good condition while refurbishing, upcycling, recycling, or even reprocessing the poorer condition items into fuels.

3. Win a car or 4D3N cruise at 313@somerset, Jem, and other malls (now till Feb 24)

Community events

1. Growth Circles (Feb 7, 13, 17, 27)

Everyone wants a safe space where you can just be you, and be supported. Not everyone has such spaces in their lives — but everyone deserves them.

That’s why Growth Collective SG has organised Growth Circles, two-hour sessions for individuals to connect meaningfully and feel empowered by each other.

It’s about showing support, being present, and ultimately building a world where no one feels alone.

Here’s how a month’s worth of Growth Circle sessions looks like:

These are the Growth Circles sessions this month:

2. Make friends with Friendzone (Feb 8)

One of my closest friends used to use the dating app Tinder — not to date, but to make friends. She would chat with people on the app — filtering out any creeps, of course — and actually made some meaningful friendships from her efforts.

These days, there’s an easier, non-virtual way to make friends. Friendzone hosts community-building gatherings for young adults to connect with each other and develop friendships.

They believe ​​that Singapore is, and I quote, "full of diversity and interesting people that just haven’t met yet". If you don’t agree, maybe you should give one of their sessions a try.

This month, there’s only one Friendzone session planned:

Remember to respect that these are friend-making events, not dating ones.

3. Crochet Interest Group Meetup (Feb 14)

Myth: Crochet is only for old grannys.

Fact: Crochet is for people of all ages, and has made something of a comeback in recent years. I daresay certain crochet amigurumi toys might even have been trending this year.

If you’re a crochet hobbyist, this Crochet Interest Group Meetup is your chance to meet like-minded folks. There’s no dedicated teacher, but you’ll meet fellow crocheters you can explore the craft with and learn from.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or if you’ve been doing this for decades, all skill levels are welcome!

Crochet Interest Group Meetup

• Date and time: Feb 14, 2024, 10am
• Venue: Starbucks, 277 Orchard Road #B2-04 Gateway, 238858

4. Music Programmes at the Esplanade: Cool Classics (Feb 5 to 29)

[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/C2hh6d5yZtV/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=046f3774-5369-4f4c-9d56-e7ef1ef054d0[/embed]

This February, the theme for the Esplanade’s free programmes is Cool Classics. Various artists showcase the best classical music from the East and West.

Relax to the harp harmonies from harpists Charmaine Teo and Qi Qin Lim (Feb 5, 2024), lose yourself in classical Arabic music from The Samrah Club (Feb 11, 2024), and celebrate Valentine’s Day with flautist Jihyun Chang, clarinettist HaeJin Ryu, and pianist Mei Hui Tan (Feb 14, 2024).

The month of love concludes with mezzo soprano Priscilla Fong and soprano Tina Lee as they perform songs that celebrate the ecstasy and enchantment of budding love.

5. Sunday Jam Session at The Jazz Loft (every Sunday)

It feels almost like it should be a secret, but this is too good not to share. Every Sunday evening, tucked away in Bali Lane, you can get a taste of live jazz jams at The Jazz Loft @ Blu Jaz Cafe at no cover charge.

Called the Sunday Jam Sessions, each session opens with pianist Rachma Lim and her trio.

Then, homegrown and international jazz stars take the stage — some familiar faces already well established in the jazz world, and some up and coming jazz musicians paving the way for a new wave of jazz.

You never really know exactly who you’ll get to hear (to our knowledge, they don’t publish this anywhere), but perhaps the mystery is part of the appeal. Just like jazz improv, every iteration is unique.

Sunday Jam Session at The Jazz Loft

• Date and time: Sundays, 7.30 – 11pm (Doors open at 7pm)
• Venue: The Jazz Loft @ Blu Jaz, 11 Bali Lane, Level Three, Singapore 189848
• Register here: Feb 4, Feb 18, Feb 25

Learning, skill upgrading, and self-improvement

1. Speak Up and Stand Out: Free Public Speaking Course @ Jurong Green CC (Feb 9)

Another option to help you hone your public speaking skills is Speak Up and Stand Out.

For the Easties out there, one good option for public speaking practice is with the Bedok Toastmasters Club.

Uncle Chris is a self-described "everyday Singapore uncle" who’s seen a lot of Singapore over the years, and now loves showing it to others.

Join Uncle Chris on his free walking tours to be entertained and even educated on the hidden heritage, culture and history behind various areas in Singapore.

Uncle Chris spills all he knows, and isn’t afraid to touch on the darker parts of history; for this reason, do look out for tours that are adult only.

I love how Uncle Chris always comes up with interesting itineraries and angles. Here are some Uncle Chris Walking Tours highlights that caught my eye this month:

• The 15 Days of Chinese New Year (Feb 3, 2024)
• Upper Thomson Road & The Hainanese Village (Feb 6, 2024)
• Bishan: Kampong San Teng Walking Tour (Feb 18, 2024)

Do note that while Uncle Chris Walking Tours are all free, you’re strongly encouraged to tip at the end of the tour.

4. My Community Heritage Tours (Feb 4 to 17)

If you’re keen on tours in Singapore, another great option for you is the heritage tours conducted by My Community, a non-profit organisation that showcases and celebrates the community, culture and heritage in locales like Queenstown, Bukit Merah and Tiong Bahru.

Off the mainland, they also conduct tours to St John Island, Sentosa, and Pulau Ubin. These tend to be pretty popular, so be sure to reserve your slot early!

Check out the My Community Heritage Tours line-up for the month. But be warned that at the time of writing, many are already fully booked!

5. Get Professional by NLB (Feb 22, 28)

6. Men’s Journey Circle Open Sessions (Feb 24)

I am all for female empowerment, don’t get me wrong. But I think personal growth has absolutely nothing to do with gender or sex, and men avoiding opening up when they need to is harmful both to themselves and those around them.

The Men’s Journey Circle Open Sessions at The Ark Studio are a unique space for men to connect and grow.

This free event offers a rare opportunity for men to express vulnerability, share experiences, and gain insights in a supportive, empathetic environment.

Ideal for those dedicated to personal growth and self-discovery, the sessions include group workshops, guided meditations, reflective journaling, and sharing circles.

It’s a place to discuss life’s challenges and celebrate achievements, fostering a sense of brotherhood and mutual support. Men, sign up for an empowering experience that nourishes mind, body, and soul.

Men’s Journey Circle Open Sessions

• Date: Feb 24, 2024, 10am – 12pm
• Venue: The Ark Studio
• Address: 8 Kim Tian Place #15-55 Singapore, 163008

7. Future of Work by NLB (Feb 1 to 29)

Is ChatGPT taking over the world? Not quite yet, but it’s certainly had a huge impact on the way many of us work.

In the Future of Work series organised by the National Library Board, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are embraced as, well, the future of work.

These workshops will equip you with the relevant skills and knowledge in our digital age to prepare you for the quickly evolving office landscape.

If you need an extra push to hit your fitness goals, Singapore’s New Balance Run Club (NBRC) may be the community you’ve been looking for.

NBRC meets every Tuesday evening at Suntec City’s New Balance outlet to work out together.

They run (of course), do some HIIT (a classic!), and even do fartlek — that’s Swedish for speed play. As the name suggests, it involves switching between fast and slow running to boost metabolism.

New Balance Run Club

• Dates and times: Tuesdays, 7pm – 10pm
• Venue: New Balance (Suntec City #01-325), 3 Temasek Blvd, Singapore 038983
