Singapore’s National Day is never just one day. It is a season of red-and-white desserts, familiar songs, family outings, neighbourhood celebrations and local flavours that remind us why home feels like home. As Singapore turns 61 on 9 August 2026, the festivities are spreading across the island, from heritage brunches and nostalgic cheesecakes to airport performances, interactive playgrounds, homegrown collaborations and wellness deals.
Whether you are planning a long-weekend feast, an outing with the children, a shopping day or a quiet treat at home, this guide brings together noteworthy SG61 dining promotions, events and experiences happening from July through August 2026. Dates, redemption limits and availability vary, so reserve early and check the latest terms before heading down.
Celebrate Singapore Through Food
Rediscover Singapore’s Tea-Time Tradition at Bibik Violet
Bibik Violet, the all-day Peranakan cafe, bakery and emporium from the Violet Oon Group, has opened its second outlet at Great World with a timely nod to Singapore’s durian season and afternoon tea culture.
Until 31 August 2026, the Great World outlet is serving three limited-time durian desserts: Durian Chendol; Sago Gula Melaka with Mao Shan Wang durian pengat; and Pulut Tai Tai with Durian Kaya, pairing blue pea glutinous rice with durian kaya and durian pengat. The outlet’s signature Chendol will remain on the permanent menu.
From 3pm to 5pm daily until 31 August, diners can also enjoy kopi or teh for S$1 with any purchase. Pair it with handmade kueh or a freshly baked cake for an easy afternoon pause steeped in familiar local flavours.
Cat & the Fiddle Reimagines Ice Kacang and Raspberry Ripple
Homegrown cheesecake specialist Cat & the Fiddle is turning two nostalgic treats into limited-edition cakes for SG61.
The Ice Kacang Cheesecake layers red bean gula melaka cheese mousse with pandan jelly, sweet corn jelly and a rose-infused sponge centre, finished with red bean and red-and-white chantilly cream. It costs S$48.90 for a whole cake or S$6.90 per slice and is best enjoyed chilled straight from the freezer.
The Raspberry Ripple Cheesecake takes inspiration from Singapore’s old-school ice cream carts. New York cheese mousse rippled with raspberry jam meets raspberry cheese mousse, vanilla sponge, chantilly cream and berry crumble. It is priced at S$52.90 whole or S$6.90 per slice.
Both cakes are halal-certified. From 1 to 9 August 2026, customers receive 61% off the second cheesecake when purchasing two cakes, including at least one Ice Kacang or Raspberry Ripple Cheesecake. The promotion is available while stocks last. Pre-orders opened on 29 June, with collection and delivery available from 8 July.
