At this event, they’ll be unveiling their groundbreaking 100% seaweed bioplastic garbage bag and offering seaweed-based prizes for the paddling events. It’s a significant step forward in the fight against plastic pollution, and you can be part of this exciting development.

A True Community Affair

This event is not just for thrill-seekers; it’s a dedicated “For Pasir Ris, by Pasir Ris” initiative, embracing the Whole Of Beach Town concept to integrate ocean sustainability into our daily lives.

Sounds of the Sea

Prepare to be serenaded by the fantastic beats of Wild Pearl Studio, featuring DJs from the UK and the US who’ve spun their magic at The Conscious Festival and GreenTech Festival. You can also groove to the Latin Band with maestro Gabriel on Keys and Cuban drummer Pablo Calzado.

Join the Race

For the first time ever, boats from Sentosa, East Coast, and Kallang will come together to race in the waters of Pasir Ris, thanks to a new collaboration with Team France Va’a.
