Singapore Garden Festival 2026
Gardens by the Bay (GBTB) has been a hot destination of late, what with CJ Hendry’s Flower Market and Juju World taking the country by rabid, scalping storm. If the AI bunny and fake flowers don’t cut it for you, then consider the Singapore Garden Festival 2026 (SGF2026), designed with the theme Carnival of Blooms.
When is SGF2026?
This 10th edition of SGF2026 will run from 4th to 12th July 2026, and is open from 10am to 10pm daily. The last entry for each day is at 9.30pm, so you’ll want to time your arrival accordingly.
How to get to SGF2026
There are 3 entrances to SGF2026: the Meadow Bridge Entrance, which is closest to Exit B of Bayfront MRT Station, the Meadow Entrance, which is near the Meadow Carpark drop-off, and the Supertree Grove entrance, for those who are arriving via the main Gardens by the Bay drop-off point.

What can I expect at SGF2026?
8m-tall floral roller coaster
Headlining the entire SFG2026 experience is its dramatic entrance from the Meadow Carpark – where an 8m-tall floral roller coaster sets the stage for the whimsical carnival theme of the festival.
Spoiler alert: this isn’t an actual roller coaster. But you’ll get to ride with 2 adorable, life-sized teddies against the backdrop of Marina Bay Sands.
Floral mirror maze
Make it a point to enter the floral mirror maze, where 8 floral chandeliers are suspended from an open canopy. Decked out in walls of mirrors, live orchids, dangling Spanish moss, and pressed flowers from the Singapore Herbarium, this is one maze that we’d gladly get lost in.
Interactive light-up installations
If you needed one reason to visit the Singapore Garden Festival 2026 after dark, let Known by Flowers, an interactive installation by Chinese landscape designer Hu Shiyang.
There are 3 parts to her installation, each activated by a different mode: movement, sound, and touch, which encourage visitors to interact with the giant-sized blooms.
We definitely recommend coming at different times of the day to experience this artwork in all its glory – our favourite times are at dusk and after sunset.
Nature carousel
The festival isn’t just for adults, and Nature’s Carousel Play Garden proves that everyone of all ages has something to enjoy. This playgarden reimagines the carousel, a carnival classic, as an all-natural, 100% non-mechanical one, and invites everyone, both young and old alike, to hop on.
All around the nature carousel are log play elements with hand-whittled creatures that are native to Singapore.
Mystical floral vortex
If you’re entering SGF from the Meadow Bridge Entrance, your first steps into the festival will be via a multi-sensorial Floral Vortex, a series of arches lined with yellow oncidiums, pale lavender-pink dendrobiums, and stunning purple vandaceous orchids. The mists aren’t always on, so snap your photo when they are for a most charming shot.
Pro tip: turn back at the end for a picture-perfect shot with MBS.
Don’t forget to return after dark, because the lights, the mist, and the contrast of the colours and spinning windmills make for an incredible photo opp.
While you’re here, have a seat on the larger-than-life swing that previously appeared at the launch event for SGF2026 in March. Back then, it featured 12,888 flowers, setting a Guinness World Record for the “Most Flowers on a Swing”.
Fruit orchard & wildflower meadow
Another of our favourite locations is the Fruit Orchard, where we half expected fairies and pixies to pop out. We absolutely love when the fairy lights come on, setting the scene for a mystical picture.
Here, you’ll get to trace the historical journey of fruits that we eat today, with 4 zones covering citrus in the Old World, pomegranates along the Silk Road, papayas in the New World, and fruits such as figs in the Mediterranean dome.
Photo spots & sensory garden
Over at Sunkissed, you’ll find an entire garden with more than 500 sunflowers from over 10 varieties – there’s a giant beach chair set amidst the sunflowers for you to grab a seat and a pic too.
Have a wander through the sensory garden, moving through zones where you’re invited to take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the foliage. If you’ve not been to the new Nature Immersion Trail at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, let this be your introduction to nature therapy.
Another photo spot to check out is the Floral Infinity Mirror – a 14m-long mirrored walkway that turns the selection of tropical plants into a living kaleidoscope.
Don’t forget to drop in to the Wildflower Meadow, inspired by the temperate versions you’ll find overseas.
Hop onto one of the swings, where you and a pal will have to take one end of the pulley and get it moving.
Complete the stamp rally to redeem a limited-edition pin
There are stamping stations throughout the festival grounds, each with a unique stamp. Collect all 8 stamps, and you’ll get to redeem a limited-edition pin, available while stocks last.
P.S. There are 4 pins to collect.
Competitions, live performances & marketplaces
There are floral demonstrations, workshops, and daily live performances at the Bandstand that you can enjoy. Signature SGF competitions like the Show Gardens: All-Stars Edition and Floral Windows to the World Championship, showcasing the best of tropical horticulture and floral artistry, are not to be missed. Get the full line-up of events at the SGF website.
Even if you don’t want to pay for a ticket, you can visit the Planters Market MarketPlace, where you can buy everything from plants to gardening wares. Do note that the marketplace is only open till 8pm daily, and is at Bayfront Green.
