If your kids are already counting down the days to the June holidays, this weekend’s kid-friendly convention is a fun way to start the celebrations early.
Kidz Pop Con Asia is bringing over 50 family-friendly brands and a line-up of on-stage performances and workshops to the Sands Expo and Convention Centre from 23rd to 24th May 2026, 10am to 8pm. Here’s what you and your little ones can look forward to at this year’s edition.
Organised by the folks behind Singapore Comic Con and Creators Con, this 2-day festival is a family-friendly convention dedicated to all things pop culture. Held annually, Kidz Pop Con Asia mixes education and entertainment, packing the event with activities and experiences children will enjoy.
However, contrary to what its name suggests, the convention’s not just for kids. Beyond collectibles, play zones, and character meet-and-greet sessions, parents can also check out enrichment and tuition booths for ways to keep the little ones busy over the break.
A basic entry ticket to this year’s edition costs $10, but parents with extra energetic kiddos or a larger crew might want to consider upgrading to the all-access entry ticket ($25-$88) to enter the inflatable playground zone. Admission is free for infants-in-arms and children younger than 2.
Kiddos can look forward to appearances by Bluey and musical showcases featuring classic Disney and Pokémon songs, while parents will appreciate the action-packed martial arts demonstrations and light saber shows. The line-up promises a little bit of everything for every kind of pop culture fan.
