Looking for plans this weekend? Whether you fancy catching shooting stars, rummaging through warehouse sales, or immersing yourself in art and culture, Singapore has plenty on offer from 17 to 19 April 2026. Here is our pick of the best things to do this weekend.
1. Catch the Lyrids Meteor Shower (17–26 April)
The annual Lyrids meteor shower has officially begun and will grace Singapore’s skies until 26 April. While the peak viewing nights are 22 and 23 April, you can already start spotting shooting stars this weekend, especially between 11pm and 5am when skies are darkest.
You do not need any special equipment — just head to a dark spot away from city lights. Popular viewing spots include Changi Beach Park, Labrador Nature Reserve, and East Coast Park. On the peak nights, you could see up to 20 meteors per hour, with the occasional fireball lighting up the sky. Give your eyes at least 15 to 20 minutes to adjust to the darkness before you start scanning.
