While Singapore blasts into full gear with Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 from Sep 15 to 17, Grand Prix Season Singapore (GPSS) will set your pulse racing off the tracks with precinct parties at four locations islandwide.
Happening from Sep 8 to 17, get revved up at Orchard Road, Clarke Quay, Kampong Gelam and Sentosa. Each location offers a suite of race-themed lifestyle experiences across an action-packed 10-day period.
Themed “Circuit of Festivity”, feel the buzz of the race season with adrenaline-pumping activities, glitzy parties, delicious eats and live music.
