Bangkok's famous creative market Artbox will be in Singapore over two weekends from 14th to 16th April and 21st to 23rd April, 3 pm to 11 pm at the Bayfront Event Space beside Marina Bay Sands.
Admission to Artbox Singapore is free and I was there today in the late afternoon, squeezing around with the crowds in my poncho and umbrella. Instead of using shipping containers like the ones in Bangkok, booths here are set up using modular scaffoldings made of metal.The experience is more like walking in an over-crowded Pasar Malam.
There's a mixture of food and beverage booths and some fashion and art booths. There are a lot of interesting and unique booths but due to the rain and crowds, I could only watch from far. The vendor line-up for each weekend will be different, so you may wish to go down on the two weekends.
Some of the interesting highlights include:
- Chill Out Hammocks
- Chang Beer Garden
- Free Tattoo by MTV Asia
- Busking Performances
- Vintage cars and Kombi Vans
- Thousands of fairy lights (official light up on 14 April, 7pm)
- Live Radio Broadcast from Power 98 and 88.3 fm
- All vendors are equipped to accept payment by cash, NETS or credit cards
Happy to catch-up and explore the place with @ck.chai !
