That’s right, Bayfront Event Space has another pop-up event. But no, we’re not talking about the Marina Bay Spring Carnival or The Great Bay Fiesta this time. Channelling “good vibes only” is GastroBeats 2023 with rows upon rows of F&B stores, themed bouncy castles, and live music for a fun-filled June holiday.
We’re talking about a month-long carnival with free admission for all – tickets are required for some activities. Not to mention, this is happening in conjunction with i Light Singapore 2023 – you know, the event that we’re seeing all over Instagram.
You say festival, we hear food. Come hungry as there are over 50 F&B vendors here. It’s gonna be tough deciding what to order – there are Thai and Taiwanese food streets, topped with an assortment of other cuisines from around the world. Japanese, Western or Mexican? You name it, they have it, all within the $3-$20 range.
Giant Grilled Squid ($9) and Thai dessert.

Order some flavoured fried dough fritters (from $6.90) from You Tiao Man, or piping-hot skewers from 2 Ninja 1 Fatty to share. Other vendors include Papi’s Tacos, Earles Swensens, more better, and Gyushi.
Live music stage with vinyl projection screen that doubles up as an artwork.
A no-brainer given the second half of the name – GastroBeats – there’s going to be music performances every weekend to pump up the atmosphere. Jive to live performances by local musicians with Shirlyn & The UnXpected and Tabula, who will be bringing acoustic oldies and rock hits respectively.
That’s not all – there are also carnival games as well as interactive power roving machines that light up when you exercise. Don’t forget to stop by a Glambot camera to take slow-mo videos over at the DBS Zone – just like what you see on Hollywood red carpets.

Adults may be loving what they’re hearing so far, but if you have little ones in tow, bring them along too. One of the largest features of the event is the mega-sized Jumptopia pop-up by Kiztopia.
A dream-come-true for kids, there are 7 bouncy castles this year with space monkeys, bears in astronaut suits, and a giant inflatable moon.

Cool off from the heat at the Splash Zone, with shallow play areas and mini boat rides suitable for toddlers.
