Open House at imPAct@Hong Lim Green

We get it: after a hectic week at work, curling up under the covers to scroll through your IG feed all weekend sounds like a good idea. 

But we’re going to cut to the chase here. After the last 2 years, there’s just no telling if we’ll ever go back to being cooped up indoors again. That’s why it’s crucial that you get up, get out, and seize the day. 

A good place to start would be the Open House at imPAct@Hong Lim Green. Happening on 30th July from 9am-8pm, there’ll be an array of fun activities, workshops, workout sessions, and even shopping booths that await you and your crew.

Attend fun wellness workshops & workout sessions

Let’s be honest: the unconditional love between a pawrent and their pets is one of the purest forms of affection. And while you might never be able to repay your doggo’s devotion, you can bring them to imPAct@ Hong Lim Green’s PAws For A Cause for some quality bonding time.

Here, you and your furry friends can thrive in a series of pet-friendly workout classes at the Outdoor Sweat Fest. The folks from various Animal Welfare Groups will also be manning the booths around Hong Lim Park to help raise awareness on pets’ ownership and host an adoption drive.

Those showing up without their four-legged friends can still break a sweat at the Buddy Up Workout zone. This is where you get to crank out crunches and carve your core with another fitspo. There’s even an Adaptive Session with modified moves for people with disabilities.

If the idea of exercising scares the shizzle out of you, then opt for other programmes. At Craft-A-Scent, you’ll get to take a stab at concocting your own unique eau de parfum. Otherwise, flex your painting skills at The Art Bar and see how arts can help destress your soul. 

While you’re at it, check out the Mental Wellness VR workshop to pocket useful stress management tips.

There’ll also be a slew of Digital Upskilling Programmes such as the Microsoft 365 Hack Series, Videography, and Digitalisation – all designed to help you up your productivity game.

*Pet-friendly workout is free. Fitness Buddy Workout, Craft-A-Scent, The Art Bar and Digital Upskilling Programmes are ticketed activities.

Check out shopping booths & food trucks

The lineup of things to do above is clearly shaping imPAct@Hong Lim Green’s Open House up to be a good time. But it’s been made even better now that there are food trucks and shopping booths involved.

But don’t take our word for it. Swing by the stalls at Giving Marketplace and get ready to splash some cash on household items, chic apparel, and sustainable kids’ colouring mats.

When you make a purchase, up to 20% of the proceeds will be donated to MINDS – a social service agency supporting people with disabilities and their caregivers. That way, you can show your support for the local artisans and provide a helping hand to the community at the same time.

To refuel after that shopping spree, hit up the food trucks and feast to your fullest. Expect a sea of delicious food such as pasta, burgers, muah chee, popcorn and popsicles.

Catch free live performances by local artists

TBH, imPAct@Hong Lim Green is giving us full-blown festival vibes with its list of local artists who will be performing at its Open House.

This mini concert is free for all and starts at 5pm so be there or be square.
