Ready for the weekend? Here's what you can look forward to this week.
1. Orchid Extravaganza
Gardens by the Bay's annual Orchid Extravaganza is back.
This year's Orchid Extravaganza, presented in partnership with the Embassies of Indonesia and Thailand and High Commissions of Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia, uncovers the allure of orchids in the east tropics that have captivated early botanical explorers and plant hunters.
Each country is represented by orchids cultivated from species native to their land, as well as through a recreation of their traditional house, adorned with cultural artefacts and handicrafts.
In collaboration with the National Heritage Board, there will also be a showcase of kebaya, in support of the multinational nomination jointly submitted by Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand to inscribe the kebaya on the Unesco Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
