Digital for Life Festival 2026 takes over VivoCity Central Court on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October, then Heartbeat@Bedok on Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November, with free admission on all four days. The family weekend, themed Play It Forward, is built around three quests on screen habits, digital skills and generative AI.
VivoCity puts the HarbourFront weekend from 10am to 10pm. Registration for that stop is open at go.gov.sg/dflfest2026-vivo. Heartbeat@Bedok runs 9am to 4.30pm for the second weekend.
Grow Well SG and Screen Smart
Families for Life is pairing Grow Well SG with Screen Smart From The Start at its festival booth. Parents and children can pick up short parenting tips on healthier digital habits, try screen-break ideas and make a limited-edition Families for Life keycaps keyring while stocks last.
The booth sits inside the wider festival floor rather than as a standalone talk, so families can move between quests without booking a lecture hall. It is a different track from the National Library Board parent sessions on screen time that run midweek at Harbourfront and Victoria Street.
Three quests and the floor games
Visitors pick a path as a Screen Smart Superhero, Digital Discoverer or AI Adventurer, then work through interactive stations solo or with family. Completing stations unlocks exclusive rewards.
Other floor draws include hands-on workshops, a Digi-Diet Salad Bar where children build a bag charm from healthy digital-habit ingredients, a hunt for hidden Bitty characters on an interactive wall with six sticker designs to collect, and a Digital for Life Pledge Tree where visitors add a leaf to commit to a more digitally inclusive society.
Who it is for
The main festival floor at both venues is open to the public with free entry. A separate SINDA track for eligible Indian families with children aged 3 to 12 and a family per capita income of S$1,600 or below uses the same dates and can include one-way transport to Heartbeat@Bedok on 31 October; that track is booked through SINDA, not the public VivoCity link.
VivoCity is on HarbourFront MRT. Heartbeat@Bedok is at 11 Bedok North Street 1, beside Bedok MRT. The festival is organised by Digital for Life Singapore. No ticket price is charged for the public floor, and no PSI cut-off is published for either weekend.
