Guitar Festival at the Library 2026 gives families and music fans a free weekend plan at the National Library Building. Eventbrite lists the festival for 13 and 14 June, with activities spanning performances, storytelling, a masterclass and guitar-related exhibition booths.
The event is presented by Toa Payoh Guitar Club in collaboration with the Singapore Classical Guitar Community. It is designed for curious families, aspiring musicians, serious performers and seasoned guitar enthusiasts.
Programme Highlights
Saturday’s programme includes a masterclass observation with Dr Stephen Mattingly, a Music & Storytelling segment with Jennifer Leong for children aged three and above, a solo recital by Dr Mattingly and a Toa Payoh Guitar Club ensemble showcase.
Sunday shifts to community scale, with the 3rd Singapore Guitar Marathon from 2pm to 7pm and exhibition booths at Level 5 Possibility Room. The official listing says all events are free and open to the public, with no registration required.
- Dates: 13 and 14 June 2026.
- Venue: National Library Building, 100 Victoria Street.
- Saturday: 11am to 6pm programme.
- Sunday: 2pm to 7pm guitar marathon and exhibition booths.

Family Planning
Families with young children should aim for the storytelling segment rather than trying to stay for the full programme. Serious guitar students may get more value from the masterclass observation, recital and exhibition booths.
Because the festival sits inside the National Library Building, it is easy to pair with a library visit, Bras Basah bookshops or nearby food before returning for a later performance. The free format also makes it suitable for first-time classical guitar listeners who want to sample one segment without committing to a ticketed concert.
