The Singapore River Festival is back for its 7th edition from Sept 7, 2023 till the end of the month. No, it’s not just pretty lights by the Singapore River to make you go “ooh, pretty!”. The Singapore River Festival 2023 is bringing you live music, augmented reality (AR) experiences, and experiential food workshops, and Japanese pop culture-themed events.

Visit the Singapore River Festival website to see what events you can look forward to. My personal favourite highlight of the Singapore River Festival 2023 is a weekend (23–24 Sep) of pet-friendly activities by the river, including a best-dressed pet competition, a merchandise bazaar, pet health checks, and talks by veterinary professionals.

2. Pets Weekend (Sept 9-10)

Calling all furry, feathered, or scaly friends! Crane at Joo Chiat is opening up their doors to you on Sept 9 and 10, 2023 for a weekend of yummy treats, fun playtime, and cute pet accessories. Like many of the other weekend fairs on this list, all vendors at Pets Weekend will be small businesses in Singapore so you can #supportlocal.

13. Make friends with Friendzone (Sept 5, 20, 21)

One of my closest friends used to use the dating app Tinder-not to date, but to make friends. She would chat with people on the app-filtering out any creeps, of course-and actually made some meaningful friendships from her efforts.

These days, there's an easier, non-virtual way to make friends. Friendzone hosts community-building gatherings for young adults to connect with each other and develop friendships. They believe ​​that Singapore is, and I quote, "full of diversity and interesting people that just haven't met yet". If you don't agree, maybe you should give one of their sessions a try.

This month, they have two free sessions you can attend. Remember to respect that these are friend-making events, not dating ones.

36. New Balance Run Club (Tuesdays)

If you need an extra push to hit your fitness goals, Singapore’s New Balance Run Club (NBRC) may be the community you’ve been looking for.

NBRC meets every Tuesday evening at Suntec City’s New Balance outlet to work out together. They run (of course), do some HIIT (a classic!), and even do Fartlek—that’s Swedish for “speed play”. As the name suggests, it involves switching between fast and slow running to boost metabolism.

New Balance Run Club

• Venue: New Balance (Suntec City #01-325), 3 Temasek Blvd, Singapore 038983

Everyone’s an athlete—that’s what the folks at HOKA Run Club Singapore believe, and what they want you to believe about yourself. Join them every Friday evening for a run session, no matter your age, background, or fitness level.
