Christmas Together, a 70,000 sq ft Christmas village, opens at Sands Expo and Convention Centre’s Hall F from 27 to 29 November. Entry is free with registration, and the festival runs from 10am to 9pm daily in support of Singapore Red Cross Young Hearts.
The organisers list 18 signature experiences, more than 150 brands, 50 live performances and 40 workshops for the three public days. A preview day on 26 November is by invitation only. Hall F is a short walk from Bayfront MRT station.
Inside the village
The signature experiences include Kindness Bear House, where visitors personalise a bear, and Santa’s Post Office for Christmas letters. The Village Carnival, The Christmas Cookie Kombi and The Good Game add games, food and play, and there is a shophouse surprise to open along the way.
Half of the floor is given over to markets. The 150 brands cover gifting, fashion, beauty, home, food, artisan-made pieces and conscious living, with Singapore-inspired and personalised gifts among them.
How registration works
Each adult pre-registers separately on the Christmas Together page, including spouses, helpers and adult friends, and receives a Village Pass by email. Children and teens under 18 go under one accompanying adult’s registration. Pre-registered visitors skip the queue at the door, and visitors can also walk in on the day. Queries go to the Christmas Together team at [email protected].
Free entry does not cover everything inside. Many activities cost nothing, some invite a donation, and selected workshops, activities and bookable experiences carry separate charges, which are shown before visitors take part.
Where the money goes
Different experiences and purchases have their own giving arrangements. Funds raised support children from challenging backgrounds under Young Hearts, covering a year of education, mentorship, enrichment and nutrition for each child supported.
Children can also run their own stall through KIDSforKIDS, making and selling a product to raise money for Young Hearts, and applications remain open for the last few teams. Christmas Together builds on Sustainable Markets SG and Peace of Art SG’s earlier events, which have raised more than S$1.5 million for vulnerable children.
