A 70,000 sq ft Christmas village is coming to Marina Bay Sands

It is October, and someone has already booked an exhibition hall for Christmas.

Put it in the diary now and think about it in November. Christmas Together 2026 takes over Hall F of the Sands Expo & Convention Centre from Friday 27 to Sunday 29 November, 70,000 sq ft of market, rides, workshops and food, and free to get in. That makes it the easy answer for a family that wants the full Christmas-market afternoon without the mall crush, or anyone who wants the gift list done in one go. The compromise is that free, central and a weekend rarely add up to quiet, so go on the Friday if you can.

The numbers are generous, and slightly alarming for anyone with a gift budget: 18 signature experiences, more than 150 brands, 50 live performances and 40 workshops, including keepsake-making. Around half the space is given over to shopping, from fashion and homeware to Singapore-made gifts and personalised pieces. There are games, rides and food, and for children a Kindness Bear House for personalising a bear, Santa’s Post Office and The Christmas Cookie Kombi.

There’s a charitable streak running through it. Proceeds from various experiences go to Singapore Red Cross Young Hearts, and a KIDSforKIDS programme lets children run their own shop at the festival to raise money for other children.

Walk-ins are welcome, but register ahead via sustainablemarkets.sg to skip the longest queues, and check the page nearer the date for the brand list. Bayfront MRT is the nearest station.

Good to know Friday 27 to Sunday 29 November 2026, 10am-9pm, Hall F, Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue. Bayfront MRT is the nearest station. Free; registration recommended via sustainablemarkets.sg.
