Was at Central today meeting up with friends for our annual chalet planning session, and happen to chance upon the Singapore River Festival in full swing at Clark Quey and Boat Quey. We managed to catch the LEGENDA SINGAPURA: A BUMBOAT EXTRAVAGANZA BY SINGAPORE RIVER CRUISES @ 7pm. The performance, staged at the entrance of Central facing the river, lasted 1 hour, and the highlight to me was the Indonesian dance, as well as the Lion Dance portion. Do drop by before 28th September to catch it. You can refer to the schedule in the reference link below for the timing.
Along the underpass from Clark Quey to Boat Quey, there are also arts exhibition to brighten up your walk. Both side of the river is also decorated with lights, and there was an out door concert playing in front of the Asian Civilization Museum. We didn't manage to catch the concert as we had to hurry home for dinner with my dad. Do drop by to soak in the atmosphere, especially next weekend when the Singapore F1 Night Race will be in session.

I was at the river fest on Sunday night. It was disappointing. They should have built a gigantic stage that span the river.
ReplyDeleteAnd the bumboat parade was silly.
I totallt agree that the bumboat parade was just dumb. And the lighting was a bit disappointing as I thought since its the River Fest, the whole river would be full of celebration once the sun is down.
