Ready for the weekend? Here’s what you can look forward to this week.
1. Island Lights with Sanrio characters
Take a nostalgic and gorgeously Instagrammable trip down memory lane at Sentosa’s festive light-up this weekend. With seven breathtaking light installations on Siloso Beach, Island Lights with Sanrio characters uses classic characters like Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, My Melody and Little Twin Stars to bring Sentosa’s former icons to life.
Snap a selfie with Hello Kitty at a stylistic recreation of the Sentosa Gateway arch, complete with heart-shaped lights, or reminisce about the former Fantasy Island waterpark with Little Twin Stars at an eight-metre-tall installation of the park’s colourful waterslides.
You can also explore a mini-maze in search of My Melody and uncover photo points of former landmarks like the old Ferry Terminal along the way.
That’s not all: From now till 31 December, admission to Sentosa is FREE!
