Relive the stories that connect us

Something new, refreshing and hybrid is coming your way – the Singapore HeritageFest (SHF) returns for its 19th edition in May! This 2023, discover the lesser-known stories of Singapore’s healthcare history and food heritage through a mix of on-site and online experiences, as we commemorate our healthcare milestones and continue to celebrate our rich food culture. From virtual tours that reveal stories of the medical buildings of our past, to workshops that spotlight Eastern medical treatments such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda and how they have adapted to the needs of modern society today, come discover and relive the stories that connect us. You can also find out more about the food of the different communities and reinvention of traditional recipes through hands-on demonstrations by community partners. Whether you’re a heritage fanatic, or just inspired to learn more about the country we call home and play a part in keeping our heritage alive, there’s something for everyone at sgheritagefest.gov.sg!

Singapore HeritageFest (SHF) 2023 adopts a thematic approach this year and invites you to explore, embrace, and experience stories of our food culture and healthcare practices, and keep our shared heritage alive.

Look forward to fun workshops, food trails, guided tours, museum visits, interactive digital content, and special programmes.
