Campbell Lane comes alive this weekend as the Indian Heritage Centre (IHC) and the Little India Shop Owners and Heritage Association (LISHA) present the inaugural Little India Street Festival on Saturday, 29 August 2026. The one-day festival celebrates the trades, businesses and communities that have shaped Little India over generations, and it is free to attend.
Running from 10am to 6pm, the festival transforms Campbell Lane into a lively showcase of the precinct’s heritage, with programmes co-created by partners and members of the Little India community. If you have enjoyed IHC’s Festival of Lights celebrations before, this is a chance to see the precinct’s living culture in a new light.
What to see and do
Visitors can step into a large-scale, heritage-inspired street installation celebrating Campbell Lane’s historic trades, then catch a lively mix of music and dance performances throughout the day.
Hands-on activities include shophouse magnet painting, block printing and jewellery making, so there is plenty to keep families and children occupied. The Tekka.sg Heritage Bazaar brings together contemporary businesses offering modern-day interpretations of trades historically associated with Campbell Lane, alongside street food and other community-led programmes.
