Gardens by the Bay’s Mid-Autumn Festival is back.
From now till Sep. 11, visitors can look forward to lantern installation at the gardens, along with an outdoor marketplace and stage performances.
The event is set to be busier this year too, as it’s the first time since the pandemic that the marketplace and performances are returning to the Supertree Grove.
11 metre-tall phoenix display
“Reunion” is the theme for this year’s festival, as organisers hope to encourage visitors to enjoy the activities with their loved ones following the stabilisation of the pandemic situation.
For a start, visitors will be welcomed by a 11 metre-tall lantern situated at the main entrance.
This installation, Flight to the Phoenix is inspired by a mythological tale of how the phoenix shared its food with other birds to save them from starvation.
Located at the Supertree Grove are the Five Blessings and The Colours of Daily Life.
Five Blessings is based on the auspicious saying of five blessings descending upon the home, with the display comprising colourful lantern tigers.
The Colours of Daily Life showcases animals having fun, reflecting how our lives have resumed after the pandemic.
Joyous Reunion features all animals of the Chinese zodiac participating in Mid-Autumn Festival activities such as eating mooncakes.
The Colonnade of Lights is a showcase of 1,000 hand-painted lanterns by the public and beneficiaries of Gardens by the Bay’s Gift of Gardens community outreach programme.
