The story

Wan Qing Festival of Spring in Choa Chu Kang

Wan Qing Festival of Spring interprets Lunar New Year through Singapore Chinese history, family craft and living performance. The 2026 edition moved to Lot One in Choa Chu Kang during the memorial hall's closure, using the Year of the Horse to connect mythic steeds with ink painting, revolving lanterns, storytelling, lion and dragon dance, Chinese music and Teochew opera.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

The festival is produced by Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, so familiar New Year activities are linked to the Nanyang experience rather than presented as generic Chinese decoration

The mystery stays covered

In 2026, eight legendary horses recorded in Chinese mytho-historical literature supplied a coherent theme for crafts and stories

The city starts moving

A travelling exhibition on Singapore Chinese restaurant memories and children's Teochew opera then grounded that imagination in local social and intangible heritage

The water draws everyone in

Children could encounter inherited forms through making, listening and guided movement rather than passive explanation
