2. Toxoplasmosis all cats art show


25th Apr


Although it might bear a morbid-sounding name, the Toxoplasmosis all cats art show is as harmless as it gets. It’s an art exhibition featuring feline-themed works from both local and international artists. It gets its name from a parasitic condition associated with cats that can infect humans, causing mood shifts and reshaping the behaviour of hosts.

In the same vein, I’m sure we can all agree that cats are infectiously adorable. Which is why you’ll have to hold yourself back from spending copious amounts of money on the cat-inspired trinkets on sale here. Offerings include apparel, paintings, prints, and various other felicitous knick-knacks; what’s more, 10% of all sales will go to Kitten Sanctuary Singapore as a donation.

Admission: Free
Venue: 16 Shaw Road, #03-10, Singapore 367954
Date: 25th April 2026
Time: 12pm-5pm

17th-26th Apr

If you’d ever wanted to wish upon a shooting star, cross your fingers, and you just might catch one or 2 when you look up at the night sky during these couple of days. The Lyrids meteor shower is happening as we speak, and will be making a cosmic drive-by of Singapore till 26th April 2026.


Image credit: @lsljojo via Instagram

Although we can’t guarantee you’ll catch them streaking across the sky, your best bet is to try to spot them on the 23rd as the meteor shower will reach its peak visibility then. For the best views, head to an open space as far away from the city light as possible such as Changi Beach Park and Labrador Nature Reserve between 2am and 5am, and pray for clear skies.


4. Public Garden 2026
