Self-guided Themed Trails
Light to Night Singapore 2026 explores “The Power in Us”—the connections that form when people and communities come together through art to reflect, converse, and create. Across four vibrant weekends, the festival transforms the Civic District with interactive art installations, crowd-favourite façade projections, and an expanded line-up of programmes and performances.
With a wide range of programmes taking place across multiple locations, visitors may appreciate a clearer way to navigate the festival based on their interests, time, and pace. To support this, Light to Night introduces four festival trails, each designed around a different way of experiencing the festival.
Celebrating The Power in Us, these trails invite visitors to enjoy the festival in their own way—offering suggested routes, highlights, and estimated durations that help them explore with ease, discover moments that resonate, and create a meaningful Light to Night experience.
I’m here for the atmosphere – the lights, the energy, the sense that something is happening in the city tonight. I’m not trying to see everything; I just want a fun, fluid route with moments worth stopping for and sharing along the way.
I’m here with my family, so I need a route that’s simple, safe, and not overwhelming. Give us things to do, things to spot, and moments that everyone – young and old – can enjoy together.
I’m here for the art – the ideas, the theme, the stories. Point me to works with depth, context, and meaning, and to moments where the conversations between inside and outside really come through.
I’m here for the shot. Tell me where the angles are, when the lights cycle, and which works offer the strongest compositions. I’ll take my time – as long as the payoff is worth it.
