Artbox, Asia’s largest creative festival, just got bigger for its 2025 edition. Titled “Artbox Everyday”, the festival’s most expansive version yet will feature over 600 vendors across two back-to-back weekends.
That’s almost 50 per cent more F&B and retail booths than last year’s iteration, with regional representation from the likes of Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand and beyond.
The vendors will be spread across the sprawling 108,000-square-foot festival space at Singapore Expo Hall 4 from Jan 17 to 19, and 24 to 26, with tickets starting from as low as $5 a head if you manage to snag them during the early bird period.
If previous editions are anything to go by, you can expect plenty of breezy street bites and Instagrammable local nosh, along with refreshing beverages like cold brew coffee, espresso beer and beer on tap from the already confirmed Chang Beer.
But shopping and good food are not the only things you can look forward to for Artbox 2025, as the event will also feature nostalgic art installations that double up as communal hangout spots.
Think a localised “void deck” made from stacked shipping containers, a convenience store featuring curated products from homegrown artists, and even a KTV lounge complete with state-of-the-art systems powered by local karaoke giant Teo Heng.
There’ll even be the new addition of a child enrichment centre where you can drop off the kiddos for interactive t-shirt doodling sessions and drama classes, leaving your hands and heads free to enjoy the activities the rest of the area has to offer.
We’re talking fitness classes, live performances from local bands on the Artbox Stage and, for those in the industry, more networking than you can handle.
Thereafter, you can take a break and enjoy some well-earned family time at an extensive retro arcade managed by The Arcade People, with daily gaming challenges and exciting prizes to be won to get your competitive juices flowing.
Early bird tickets can be picked up here – but don’t worry if you’re still unsure about your calendar. Visitors can also fork out for a ticket when they walk-in – it’ll be $7 on weekdays and $8 on weekends.
