Gardens by the Bay marks Mid-Autumn festival day on Friday 25 September 2026, with evening programmes through 10pm and the closing Craft Corner weekend opening that night.

Borealis at 9pm

For the Mid-Autumn window from 12 to 27 September, Borealis runs at 9pm to 9.15pm instead of its usual slot. That shorter show sits inside the same outdoor evening that also runs the marketplace and carnival through Sunday 27 September.

Craft Corner returns Friday to Sunday

Craft Corner is back at the Colonnade from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September with self-guided festive crafts. Fees apply for selected activities. Attraction ticket holders (admission dated 12 to 27 September) get 1-for-1 on the craft fee; Friends of the Gardens members get 10% off. Only one promotion applies per transaction.

Marketplace, rides and how to get in

Marketplace food stalls and J’Kids Carnival Games still run beside the evening programme through Sunday. Charges apply for food, games and family rides. Friends of the Gardens members get 10% off at the marketplace and a $3 discount with every $30 purchase or top-up at J’Kids Carnival Games.

Car park lots fill quickly. Bayfront or Gardens by the Bay MRT is the practical way in. Only battery-operated lanterns are allowed; open flame is banned.
