It’s a packed week for the calendar. We’ve done the filtering for you, narrowing things down to five events worth planning around, whether that means booking a ticket in advance or simply showing up. Here’s 5 events for you to check out this week.
Formula 1 Exhibition
Before the Singapore Grand Prix returns in October, here’s an F1 exhibition to check out first. Previously held in cities like London, Melbourne, and Amsterdam, this is the first time the official global exhibition has parked itself in Asia, and Singapore gets to be the debut city. The immersive exhibition is more than a display of cars and memorabilia: it takes visitors through 76 years of F1 history across seven specially designed rooms, mixing storytelling with tech-led experiences that bring the speed, drama, and legacy of the sport to life. Expect to see some of the most iconic F1 cars, including the BAR Honda 005, alongside interactive racing simulators, unreleased footage, and artefacts tracing F1’s journey through the past, present, and future.
For fans looking to bring home a little something, there’s an on-site retail store offering a wide range of official and exclusive F1 merch for purchase. Full details are to be announced at a later date.
When: Opens 23 July 2026, running daily 11am–9pm (23 July–2 August), then 11am–8pm through 18 October 2026
Tickets: From $29 (ages 5–12), $40 (13–17), $49 (18+)
General public tickets are released on 19th June 2026 at 9am.

Sentosa GrillFest
Now in its ninth year, GrillFest returns to Siloso Beach for Singapore’s annual beach BBQ season. The 2026 edition is its biggest yet, with 42 food vendors spread across five zones – Local Grills, International Grills, and Beachside Grills, including 18 newcomers alongside returning favourites such as Craft’B.
One of the highlights for this edition is the Chef’s Grill, an eight-course omakase-inspired dining experience held in an air-conditioned beachfront pavilion, where diners can watch chefs demonstrate a range of live-fire cooking techniques up close. Festival-goers can also look forward to Marketplace by Indoguna, where you pick your own ingredients to be cooked to order, and Sunset Lounge by Asahi, a beachfront bar for golden-hour drinks.
When: 23–26 July 2026 (continues on select dates through 16 August), 4pm–10.30pm
Tickets: Free entry | Chef’s Grill from $128, advance booking required

MINISO x One Piece Pop-Up

One Piece needs little introduction at this point, nearly three decades in and the series still commands one of the most devoted fanbases around. Its final Singapore tie-in for the season comes courtesy of MINISO, with a Suntec City takeover wrapping up this week. Merchandise fills the atrium: blind boxes from the Freeny’s Hidden Dissectibles line, map and barrel mugs, wanted-poster pillows, a rotating cup featuring the full Straw Hat crew, and Thousand Sunny-themed photo corners for those keen to recreate a scene or two. Worth swinging by before the ship sails, whether you’re after a specific figure or just the photo op.
When: Till 26 July 2026, daily 10am–10pm
Tickets: Free entry
Where: Suntec City, Tower 1 & 2 Atrium, Level 1

There’s merchandise too, including family-sized Sanrio tees and Merlion-themed plushies, plus a $10 Kuji lucky draw where you can walk away with prizes such as plushies, enamel pins, postcards, and more.

Irish artist Niall Breen brings his beloved Dog and Frog characters, best known from his comics about doing absolutely nothing in particular to a cosy Joo Chiat gallery for their Singapore debut. Visitors can browse original artworks featuring Dog and Frog while soaking in the exhibition’s intentionally laid-back atmosphere. Rather than asking people to think harder or move faster, Lazy Days encourages visitors to pause for a moment and appreciate the beauty of everyday life, alongside a small but thoughtfully made merchandise line of woven blankets, prints, and pins available for purchase.
When: Till 26 July 2026, daily 12pm–7pm
Tickets: Free entry
Where: Heartware Store and Gallery, 350B Joo Chiat Road
