Highlights include "Tales of Earth and Sea", a striking facade projection at the National Museum", "Birdmen", featuring fantastical, pterodactyl-like creatures (21 to 23 Aug only); "Horror Nights @ Oldham Theatre", with screenings of Asian horror flicks; and XXX at the Kinetic Wall in Funan.
21 Aug to 5 Sep, 5.30pm onwards @ various locations in the Bras Basah-Bugis area. Get more info here
The Growing Up Trilogy: "Ilo Ilo"/ "Wet Season"/ "We Are All Strangers

All three movies are now showing, so binge the entire series at one go. And yes, you can use your Culture Pass for this.

Good Pet Fair - Kampong Edition
Why go: Take your furkid to The Kallang this weekend for some pet-friendly fun, exciting experiences, and community spirit. Sure, this isn't a dog-only affair, but we live in a world where diversity isn't only welcomed; it's also encouraged. Plus, entry is free.
That said, there are canine-specific activities, like the attempt to set a new national record in the "Singapore Book of Records" for the largest gathering of Shetland sheepdogs (Gate 6, 4pm). At the same time, you can meet other Sheltie lovers and celebrate this wonderful breed.
You can also explore the precinct on a guided Paws Around The Kallang venue tour (Gate 3, 4pm), take part in engaging community workshops including one on Pet CPR by Royal Animal Rescue, and end the evening under the stars at the pet-friendly movie night.

Hello Future: Adventure Awaits
Why go: Because you, like us, believe that children are the future.

As the old adage goes, "out of the mouths of babes..."

Breaking Down a Beat in Logic Pro

Go Jam At Port 37
Why go: Because you want to hear live music that isn't a string of covers (like, we don't really need any more renditions of "APT"). This jam session is dedicated to original music from Singapore, where musicians play, and the audience can enjoy what the Lion City has to offer. Plus, because this is a jam, you can flex your musical muscles and join in, too!

Must-see musical: Jesus Christ Superstar
Why go: If you like musicals that focus on the music, this one is for you. "Jesus Christ Superstar" completely strips away the usual stiff theatre vibes and replaces them with a buzz you usually find at rock gigs. One of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's earliest works, this rock opera spawned the hits "I Don't Know How To Love Him" and "Superstar".
Until 6 Sep, various timings @ Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. Get tickets here
