Singapore
Food Festival is an annual food festival which inaugurated in the year 1994.
Since then, this festival has grown and evolved to a highly anticipated
attraction within Singapore's calendar of events.
Singapore

which is inspired by our rich culture and short, yet vibrant history.
Showcasing many mouth-watering local dishes and hosting many enriching and
engaging activities and programs, SFF is arguably Singapore's best annual

Each year, a
special theme is branded to set itself different from its ancestor events. Year

promote Singapore's love for Seafood and to publicize to tourists the many
delicious local Seafood dishes available in this tropical island. This year's
theme is also set to demonstrate how Singapore's diverse culture and heritage
leads to the discovery of many iconic dishes.
