SINGAPORE, 25 April 2023 – Singapore Sports Hub is bringing back the kampung spirit with Celebrate Hari Raya @ Stadium Roar, its inaugural three-day festival, taking place from 29 April to 1 May 2023. Expect to be dazzled by an array of Malay cultural experiences, festivities and, of course, gastronomy.
Good ol’ kampung life
Visitors to Celebrate Hari Raya @ Stadium Roar will have the opportunity to try their hand at traditional games like bola tin, giant five stones, spinning tops, a life-sized eraser challenge and even a sepak takraw pong challenge. Those seeking something a little less competitive can look forward to crafts like tile painting, ketupat plushie making, stained glass art or even take part in creating a community mural using playnting, the technique of using drumsticks dipped in paint to create rhythmic paint patterns across a canvas. Participation is free, and more information can be found here.
Vibe to a medley of performances

- Singapore Polytechnic face off against Nanyang Technological University in a battle of Dikir Barat, a traditional Malay form of singing accompanied by percussion.
- Changkat Changi Secondary and Republic Polytechnic students are set to wow the crowd with traditional Malay dance performances.
Finally, wind down with the little ones by listening to some storytelling. They’ll be brought on a historical journey of myths, facts and the history of Hari Raya celebrations in Singapore.
