CHIJMES and Capitol Singapore Bring Singapore Night Festival 2026 to Life with Myths & Legends

As part of the Singapore Night Festival 2026, CHIJMES and Capitol Singapore will present a line-up of immersive experiences inspired by this year’s theme, Myths & Legends, from 21 August to 5 September 2026. Visitors can expect projection mapping, interactive art experiences, community installations, live performances and creative markets spread across both heritage venues.

At CHIJMES, the festival centres on large-scale visual storytelling. Returning visitors can catch the Textures through Time projection mapping show on the exterior façade of CHIJMES Hall, while selected dates will feature Singapore’s first large-scale indoor projection mapping experience inside the historic hall. Other activities include the adidas Hyperboost Run Experience, which combines a community night run with shoe trials, as well as Neon Glow Art Jamming sessions where participants can create fluorescent artwork under UV lighting.

Capitol Singapore will focus on hands-on creative experiences and community participation. The Outdoor Plaza will host Pasar Ma(d)lam, a creative night market featuring local makers, handcrafted products, live caricatures, henna art and lifestyle booths. Visitors can also contribute to a growing community tapestry by artist Natalia Tan, created using recycled materials, alongside upcycling workshops by social enterprise Commenhers and live performances by Thai ensemble Deep South Messenger.

Festival-goers who shop or dine across CHIJMES and Capitol Singapore can also redeem exclusive eco-friendly gifts, while social media contests throughout the festival offer chances to win shopping vouchers by sharing photos of selected installations.
