This October, the Singapore Food Festival (SFF) returns with a fresh, reimagined format, transforming Singapore into a culinary capital like never before. From October 1 to 31, 2024, food enthusiasts can look forward to a month of immersive, multi-genre events that celebrate Singapore’s rich culinary culture through a blend of food, entertainment, and unique experiences.
A New Era for the Singapore Food Festival
SFF 2024 has undergone a significant makeover, moving away from the traditional festival village setup to offer a series of curated experiences set in iconic Singapore locations. These events are designed to provide unforgettable dining experiences that cater to visitors of all ages. With a focus on innovation and creativity, the festival will showcase the best of Singapore’s culinary heritage and contemporary trends.
Unveiling SFF 2024 Signature Events
The festival will kick off with two Signature Events that promise to be the highlights of SFF 2024. These large-scale, theatrical culinary spectacles will be hosted at some of Singapore’s most iconic venues, featuring renowned guest chefs and offering immersive experiences that engage all the senses.

The four-course culinary journey, crafted by some of Singapore’s top chefs, will be a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Celebrating Old and New: The Festival Theme
The theme for SFF 2024, “A Celebration of Old and New,” captures the essence of Singapore’s culinary landscape. The festival is built around three core pillars—Heritage, Contemporary, and Innovation—each representing different aspects of Singapore’s food culture. From time-honored traditions to the latest culinary trends, SFF 2024 offers a journey through the full spectrum of Singapore’s gastronomic history.
Blake Harris Entertainment (BHE), a global events agency known for creating highly acclaimed immersive experiences, is leading this transformation. “Food is life in Singapore, and we are thrilled to create something truly special that enhances dining as an experience for both locals and international visitors,” said a spokesperson from BHE.
