About the organiser
My Community Festival is a ground-up initiative showcasing Singapore’s best kept secrets and community stories through immersive tours, tastings and other cultural and heritage experiences.
4 Things To Know About The Festival
- It is curated in collaboration with heritage practitioners, business owners, legacy brands as well as a number of religious and cultural institutions.
- It builds upon the demand for culinary travel, cultural exploration and activity-based travel experiences - evident from the consumption habits of locals and tourists alike.
- It aims to connect people from all walks of life through the festival platform in the hopes that they may go on to expand their social networks.
- The festival has taken on an added dimension as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. It serves as a means in which to re-introduce locals back to the island’s ethnic enclaves and to support local, legacy establishments in a triumphant display of resilience as a community. Let’s come together to celebrate the Singaporean spirit after a challenging 2020.
