Singapore HeritageFest 2009 embraces the cultures of all communities in Singapore including the Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian cultures and also those of Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar and beyond. It is our hope that this year’s festival will raise awareness of Singaporeans and Residents about the different cultures around us and encourage them to find out more about one another in terms of music, food, costumes, festivals and customs. A simple way to do this would be to get to know your neighbours better – who they are and what their cultures are. Hence this year’s tagline “Who’s Your Neighbour?
From exhibitions to heritage tours, culinary events to concerts, the festival's many events and activities will appeal to both the young and old, and to a wide variety of interests as well. These events will bring you on a journey to discover more about Singapore and the things that make us unique!
