Dear Traveler, Passion@KampongGlam is
a lively series of fun weekend activities from 5 October 2018 – 17 March 2019.
The historical precinct of Kampong Glam will soon be pulsating with an exciting
series of fun and entertaining activities for both tourists and local residents
from 5 October 2018 to 17 March 2019. Deeply rooted in the colonial history of
Singapore, Kampong Glam serves not only as a flourishing centre of Malay and
Islamic culture but a thriving tourist hub filled with an incredible mix of
inspiring personalities, interesting shops, vibrant cafes/restaurants and a
buzzing ambience.
Passion@KampongGlam is a weekend
series of experiences dedicated to bringing out the best of this enclave
through a carefully curated programme of food, music and cultural activities
designed to appeal to both international tourists and local residents in a
six-month period. Developed with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board’s
Experience Step-Up Fund, the series reflects the historical and cultural
aspects of Kampong Glam in an engaging manner. Riding on the STB’s new ‘Passion
Made Possible’ brand, the series encourages visitors to immerse themselves in
the experiences and integrate with the community. “Passion@KampongGlam is more
than an expression of the affection and respect for this heritage enclave. The
series pays tribute to this heritage enclave with an enjoyable mix of
activities to appeal to all ages,” explains Benedict Choa, Founder of
Passion@KampongGlam.
