In addition to witnessing the greatest showdown in women’s
tennis at this year’s BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore
presented by SC Global, don’t miss out on the other exciting
events happening in Singapore this October!

The annual Deepavali light-up at Little India
Be dazzled by the glittering display of lights
in the Little India precinct and the vibrant
street bazaars and cultural performances
there from 17 September to 12 November in
celebration of Deepavali, the Hindu festival
of lights that marks the triumph of good
over evil and light over darkness.

If you consider yourself hip and a fan of
heritage and culture, take a gander through
Singapore’s oldest residential estate, Tiong
Bahru. As you explore the charming public
housing estate which hail from the 1930s
(look out for the distinguishing Art Deco
architectural features), don’t forget to drop
in on the quaint shop houses and trendy
cafes that can satisfy even the pickiest
coffee connoisseurs. Alternatively, take a
stroll through Kampong Glam and soak in
the area’s rich heritage as the seat of Malay
royalty in bygone years, even as it has
received an infusion of modernity, with its
eclectic mix of cultural landmarks, quirky
boutiques and watering holes.
