Listen Later

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore with your globe-trotting, thrill-seeking, fun-loving host Oly Bennet! It’s Friday, November 21st, 2025, and Singapore is positively buzzing with energy—like a Durian smoothie at a hawker center! The weather? Classic Singapore: steamy, sun-kissed skies with a hint of afternoon thunderstorm drama, so don’t forget your brolly or your sense of adventure.

The city’s pulse today? Electrified! Singapore is ramping up for epic events, with the BLACKPINK concert fever turning literally every block into a K-pop wonderland, from snap-worthy neon installations to candy floss pop-ups at the Sports Hub. And in breaking news, Live Nation just dropped the final batch of BLACKPINK tickets for their historic three-show run at the National Stadium next weekend—folks, this is K-history in the making according to Secret Singapore and Business Today.

Let’s dive into what’s hot here and now:

If you’re a family with kiddos, head for the PAW Patrol Wonderland Adventure at City Square Mall—bring the little pups for free interactive fun and a chance to meet their favorite four-legged heroes. Shopping? Spend $100 for a meet & greet to make your kid the happiest in the Lion City.

All wine connoisseurs—or those who just enjoy a tipple—don’t miss the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter 2025 at the swanky Shangri-La Hotel. Sample from dozens of world-renowned labels and try to resist investing in an entire Bordeaux cellar.

After something spectacular and Insta-fabulous? Check out In Your Area at Singapore Sports Hub for BLACKPINK inspired installations, including a neon-lit fountain sign glowing with K-pop magic from 6:30pm tonight.

Art-lovers, don’t let your eyeballs have a dull moment—Into the Modern: Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is dazzling art buffs at the National Gallery Singapore, showcasing 100+ masterpieces by Monet, Renoir, and Manet. Early bird tickets score a nifty 30% discount if you book before November 30th.

For all ages, the brand new Changi Festive Village is officially open! Marvel at the towering Disney-themed Christmas trees, snap a pic with Moana, and pit your skills at carnival games in Terminal 3. And if anyone asks why you’re hanging out at the airport for hours, tell them Oly Bennet sent you.

In the sparkling nightlife scene, serial partygoers can groove at the RedMan Revamped Party at Star Vista—a quick stop for snacks, music, and plenty of fun activities.

What’s making headlines today? Besides BLACKPINK-mania, Orchard Road is aglow with Dior's 75th Anniversary lights dazzling the city’s premier shopping belt, and there’s a brand-new bus lane rolling out near Marina Bay to ease commute crunches during all this festival traffic. Foodies, take note: a spicy new Peranakan fusion restaurant opened on Tanjong Pagar Road—worth checking out for lunch.

If you want an iconic Singapore experience, soar above the skyline in a cable car as part of the Singapore Cable Car Pokémon Day-to-Night Adventure, with themed cabins and plushies galore. Or, go classic and indulge your inner child at the Night Festival, still brightening up Bras Basah and Bugis with wild light sculptures and interactive performances through early December.

Jungle Oly tip of the day: As local lore goes, if you want to avoid being swarmed by mynah birds or melted by the midday sun, channel your inner uncle and bring a trusty foldable umbrella everywhere! Trust me, it’s more Singaporean than chili crab and you’ll look like you know every shortcut in Tiong Bahru.

Looking ahead—tomorrow Singapore cranks it up another notch with the kickoff of Tiger Trade Experience 2025 at Plaza Singapura, and don’t forget to snag the last of the BLACKPINK tickets if you dare brave the crowd! There’s also live outdoor performances and cryptic scavenger hunts to be had—so check back for all the wild, quirky details with your mate Oly Bennet!
