i Light Singapore 2025

The time of year has come again to don our best fits and snap mandatory photos with aesthetic light installations at i Light Singapore 2025. Yep, the annual event is returning to the Marina Bay area from 29th May to 21st June 2025, this time with gorgeous displays around the Singapore River and Raffles Place as well. Here’s what we know so far.

What to expect at i Light Singapore?

This year’s festival takes on the theme ‘To Gather’, which, in line with SG60, focuses on our togetherness as a nation. In total, there are 17 installations to walk through, each discussing topics like sustainability and the country’s future.

As always, the festival is free to enter, though there’ll be paid programmes like a $3 keychain making workshop you can opt to take part in. GastroBeats will also be making its return, with new F&B and retail stalls to keep visitors entertained on site at Bayfront. P.S. – pets are allowed here, so feel free to bring your fur friends along for a stroll round the exhibitions.

17 interactive installations by 20 artists

The main festival ground will be at Marina Bay, where you’ll be able to spot highlight installations like Take a walk through the meadow with me by local artists Megan Tan and Tan Shao Xuan. This stunning artwork quite literally depicts a bed of roses, featuring 300 lit-up flowers repurposed from acrylic waste. The pretty petals here have motion sensors, so expect them to light up and play music as you walk through.
