TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Set in the heart of Geylang Serai, the annual Ramadan bazaar once again returns as one of Singapore’s most iconic festive highlights.
Widely regarded as the crown jewel of the season, the much-anticipated Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar will feature hundreds of stalls offering everything from traditional kuih (traditional cakes) and Raya goodies to festive fashion, carpets, and dazzling light displays.
While slightly more streamlined this year, the bazaar will host 150 dedicated food and beverage vendors, all of which are required to be halal-certified, Muslim-owned, or approved by a halal certification consultant.
With its vibrant atmosphere, cultural heritage setting, and wide variety of offerings, here is a little guide to the Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar, which remains a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors looking to soak up the festive spirit.
When Does the Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar Start?

Pro Tips to Visit Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar
- Arrive early to beat the heat and crowds. Stalls open from 10:00 a.m. daily, and visitor numbers typically start building from 4:00 p.m. as families gather ahead of the evening meal.
- Dress light and come prepared for the weather. Singapore’s heat can be intense, so bring a portable fan and a small towel to stay comfortable. With the monsoon season in full swing, it’s also wise to pack an umbrella, though the bazaar is fully sheltered.
- Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be covering plenty of ground as you explore rows of retail and food stalls across Geylang Serai.
- Take breaks when needed. If the crowds get overwhelming, grab a refreshing drink or dessert and recharge at the tables and benches around Wisma Geylang Serai before diving back into the festivities.
With its rich cultural heritage and festive atmosphere, the Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar continues to stand as one of Singapore’s most anticipated seasonal events.
