These experiences invite festival-goers of all ages to to explore local, Singapore stories and to view them in a new light.
For example, there will be installation by artist Arup entitled Better plant chilli so it won’t rain! This appears to be a reference to the traditional superstition that has been around since the kampong days of preventing by planting chilli to prevent rain! Apparently, from the video below, it is something that still practised to this day.
You can also view how the Bras Basah.Bugis precinct marked National Day 2025 in the YouTube video below.
