The story

Sentosa GrillFest in Sentosa

Sentosa GrillFest is Singapore's signature beachfront barbecue and food festival, held annually at Siloso Beach since its 2017 debut. The ninth edition runs from 23 July to 16 August 2026 with 42 food vendors across five zones, free entry, and pet-friendly access, and has drawn close to 800,000 visitors cumulatively since it began.

Sentosa GrillFest began in 2017 as a beachfront barbecue festival on Siloso Beach, built around the straightforward appeal of grilled food eaten with sand underfoot and the sea as a backdrop.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

GrillFest's distinguishing feature is its direct beachfront setting: vendors grill and serve food along Siloso Beach itself rather than in an enclosed venue, giving the festival an open-air, sand-and-sunset atmosphere unusual for a food festival of its scale

02

The mystery stays covered

The 2026 edition, its largest yet, introduces Chef's Grill, an eight-course omakase-inspired beachfront dining experience developed with the Singapore Chefs' Association starting at S$128, alongside Marketplace by Indoguna, where guests select fresh ingredients cooked to order, and Sunset Lounge by Asahi, a dedicated beachfront bar for golden-hour drinks

03

The city starts moving

With 18 new vendors joining returning names such as Slurp Your Oysters, Craft'B, and Jett BBQ, the festival balances established crowd favourites with fresh culinary concepts each year, all served in an air-conditioned tent with premium chinaware for the elevated dining option
