This September, Singapore transforms into a culinary playground as the Singapore Food Festival 2025 (SFF) returns for its 32nd edition. Running from 4 to 24 September 2025, the festival’s theme “Have You Eaten Yet?” celebrates the simple yet profound ways food connects us — as a gesture of care, a bridge between cultures, and a canvas for creativity.
From heritage feasts to futuristic menus, Singapore Food Festival 2025 has a line-up that is set to ignite taste buds and spark conversations across the island.
Signature events: Where food meets art, heritage, and the future
Food is Art (5–6 September) at Singapore Food Festival 2025
The festival kicks off with a dazzling multi-sensory showcase curated by dessert maestro Adriano Zumbo, Grand Copthorne Waterfront’s Chef Goh Dah Liang, and creative director Daniel Boey. Guests will indulge in whimsical desserts, couture-inspired canapés, and immersive cocktail pairings — all set to music, design, and performance.
Adding star power, bilingual rap icon Yung Raja will debut a unique dessert collaboration with Zumbo, merging music, fashion, and gastronomy in an electrifying live set. A highlight for culture lovers, Food is Art proves dining can be as much about spectacle as it is about flavour.
The Long Table (12–13 September)
Hosted at InterContinental Singapore, this communal dining event celebrates heritage cuisine with a five-course menu designed by chefs from IHG Hotels & Resorts. Guests will taste everything from Mussel Otak Otak amuse-bouche to Coconut Pandan Calamansi Ombre, crafted by culinary stars including Chef Damian D’Silva, SFF 2025’s Heritage Cuisine Ambassador.
The event isn’t just about fine dining — it’s a heartfelt celebration of stories, traditions, and Singapore’s kampung spirit.
Future Food (19–20 September) at Singapore Food Festival 2025
Perched 72 floors above the city at SKAI Loft, Swissôtel The Stamford, Future Food dares to ask: What will we eat in 2035? Expect tastings of lab-grown meats, climate-resilient crops, and zero-waste dishes. Acclaimed chefs Roy Vun Yian Ping and Yong Ming Choong will lead the showcase, alongside mixologists experimenting with AI-calibrated cocktails and glow-in-the-dark creations at the Liquid Lab.
It’s not just dining — it’s a bold look at how innovation and sustainability will shape the way we eat.
Flavours across the island
Beyond the flagship events, SFF 2025 spills into the streets and neighbourhoods with an exciting mix of pop-ups and roving food trucks.

A festival with heart
For Festival Director Blake Harris, SFF 2025 is more than a food event:
“It is a tribute to the connections formed over meals, the traditions we pass down, and the innovations shaping our culinary culture.”
With the city buzzing from heartland hawker tours to futuristic dining experiments, the Singapore Food Festival 2025 embodies what makes the nation’s food scene world-class: its ability to honour heritage while daring to reimagine the future.
So, have you eaten yet? If not, September is the perfect time to come hungry.
