Singapore Book Street at VivoCity: free entry and Culture Pass titles until 8 November

Singapore Book Street fills the Level 1 Central Atrium at VivoCity through Sunday 8 November 2026, with free public entry from 10am to 10pm every day and more than 1,200 Sing Lit titles eligible for SG Culture Pass credits. The fair is co-presented by the Singapore Book Publishers Association and the National Arts Council at 1 HarbourFront Walk.

Publishers, university presses and literary organisations take stalls across the atrium floor. More than 1,200 titles are eligible for purchase with SG Culture Pass credits.

Route from HarbourFront MRT

Take the North-East Line (NE1) or Circle Line (CC29) to HarbourFront and use Exit E straight into VivoCity, then walk out to the Level 1 Central Atrium facing the sea. Buses 10, 30, 57, 61, 65, 80, 97, 100, 131, 143, 145, 166 and 855 stop outside VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre. Drivers use the multi-storey basement or rooftop car parks inside the mall, with a Level 1 Promenade drop-off.

Admission is free for the full run from 2 to 8 November, and the fair is open 10am to 10pm on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November.

Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 programmes

On Saturday 7 November in the Programme Zone, illustrator Darel Seow runs Into the Mind of an Artist from 1pm to 2pm, sketching live for all ages. From 3pm to 4pm, author Ainul Farhana Mohd leads Payung Datuk Besar, a bilingual storytelling session with umbrella doodles for children.

Live Typewriter Poetry sits on both weekend days at 1pm to 2pm and again at 6pm to 7pm. A published poet types a short piece from one to three words you hand over; the slot is for the first 20 customers with a S$50 purchase of Sing Lit books. The Sing Lit Cloud Poetry Machine also runs through the fair: press a button for a poem, or answer a five-question mood quiz for a tailored print.
