SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 June 2026 - International visitors travelling to Singapore this June are invited to experience the vibrant traditions, culture and festive atmosphere of Chinatown Singapore through the Happy Dragon Boat Festival and a series of family-friendly June holiday activities at Smith Street.

Taking place on 13 June 2026 at the Cultural Heart @ Smith Street, the Happy Dragon Boat Festival is a lively celebration of heritage, street culture and community spirit. Visitors can enjoy free dragon and lion dance performances, Chinese musical showcases, traditional opera, cultural games and interactive experiences inspired by the Dragon Boat Festival and the famous historical figure Qu Yuan.

A key highlight is the Dragon Boat Rowing Challenge, where participants can test their endurance skills on rowing machines to win vouchers and mystery prizes. Families can also enjoy traditional games, Hanfu dress-up experiences and hands-on cultural activities throughout the day.
