Bring the whole family together for Mid-Autumn Family FUN (MAFF) 2025! From 4 to 5 October, the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) and Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) invite you to enjoy three days of heartwarming celebrations at SCCC and Singapore Conference Hall.
This year’s festival line-up of 27 programmes is the largest since its launch in 2023 and we’re looking at festive activities, music, and traditions that both kids and adults will love as we mark the Mid-Autumn Festival with joy and togetherness.
Mid-Autumn Family FUN 2025 at Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre and Singapore Conference Hall
Moongazing with Monday Bruce at SCCC’s Rooftop Garden
The highlight of MAFF 2025 is the rooftop installation Moongazing with Monday Bruce. It is the festival’s first collaboration with international designer, Phoebe.
UE SQUARE’S COSMIC SPACE EXPEDITION: Have An Out-Of-This-World Adventure!
CARNIVAL OF CHRISTMAS CHEER: Celebrate and Win at Plantation Plaza and Northshore Plaza!
SNOW MUCH TO CELEBRATE: Christmas Fun at The Centrepoint
Fu, the piece features Monday Bruce – a white-collared rabbit. The character, inspired by Fu’s personal experiences, reflects the highs and lows of corporate life.
The installation features five giant inflatables of Monday Bruce experiencing the emotional toil of the 9-to-5 work life. Set in the centre of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD), the intention was for the installation to resonate with office workers with a quirky sense of humour while also serve as a reminder to enjoy family time despite busy schedules.
While I laughed at the different expressions, bubba enjoyed spotting the “bunnies” around the garden and going up to touch them.
This installation will be on display from 11 September to 30 November 2025, 10 am to 10 pm daily. So just as the jade rabbit is a companion in the Chang-Er legend, may Monday Bruce bring joy to your days too.
Other rooftop garden activities include No More Blues Under the Moon, where the whole family can unwind under the starry night sky while moon and star gazing with NUS Astronomical Society. As children enjoy being little astronomers, adults can bask in the moonlit mood with artiste Jarvis Quek’s acoustic renditions of popular Mandopop hits.

(11 Sep – 30 Nov) |

Play It Chill at SCCC’s Ho Bee Concourse
Play it Chill at SCCC’s Level 1 Concourse is bringing the fun for the whole family with free performances and hands-on activities for every age. Bubba loved bobbing to the lively beats of Drum Feng and your little ones can try their hand at qi shan (lacquer fan) making too.
Slightly older preschoolers can partake in a roving storytelling experience or immerse themselves in interactive and theatrical storytelling performances.
For the bigger kids—and the young at heart—there are lantern riddles to crack and poetry recitals to enjoy. And of course, no day out is complete without a few tasty treats on the side, from hand-drawn candy to herbal tea eggs (available for purchase).

Rabbit’s Brew House at the Multi-Purpose Hall
For the first time, SCCC has transformed its Level 7 Multi-Purpose Hall into a whimsical teahouse setting. Step into Rabbit’s Brew House where children can enjoy Xiang Sheng (Crosstalk) –a traditional performing art in Chinese comedy– and explore the elegance of Hanfu wear, even slipping into one for a photo moment!
Little hands can get crafty with Chinese knot-making, a keepsake they’ll be proud to take home, and complete the teahouse experience by savouring on mooncakes and sipping fragrant teas.
If you’ve ever wondered what sets one dialect’s mooncake apart from another, now’s your chance to taste the difference.
At Flavours of Mid-Autumn, you can sample an array of mooncakes—from beloved classics by local brands to modern, inventive creations—all while uncovering the rich traditions and legends behind these festive delights. The little tasters are a great way to expose little ones to different mooncake flavours without the pressure of finishing a whole cake.
Give your little ones an extra taste of tradition with a vibrant Hokkien Opera performance. Happening through the weekend, it’s the perfect chance to spark conversations with your child about the music, the intricate costumes, and the beauty of the Mandarin language—planting the seeds of appreciation for this timeless art form!
Just note that the music might be a little loud and overwhelming for children who have higher sensitivity to sound, so grabbing a seat near the back might help them feel more at ease.
Dive deeper into cultural encounters with ticketed programmes like The Little Tea Masters: Traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony Workshop ($7 per pair) where children can pick up traditional tea brewing techniques from tea experts. This uniquely sensorial experience will especially be enjoyed by older kids as they foster a newfound appreciation for the subtle nuances of Wuyi Oolong tea brewing.
Meanwhile, with matcha and bubble tea being all the rage today, the Dian Cha Workshop ($7 per pair) offers the perfect throwback to immerse you in the ancient art of Chinese Song-style tea whisking.
As you whisk tea in antique-style bowls and watch frothy bubbles rise to the surface, let your little ones join in too—after all, few things delight children more than being part of the bubble-making magic. Bubba sure enjoyed using the whisk and pointing out the bubbles in the bowl. But parents, make sure to hold on tight to the ceramic bowl as your little one is whisking to avoid any accidents.
At The Little Light Makers Cellophane Lantern Making Workshop ($5 per pair), bubba was too young to handle the tools and was more interested in looking at the lantern’s light. But older kids and teens will love this hands-on challenge to try out a new craft, get creative, and bring home a one-of-a-kind lantern that’s uniquely theirs.

Concert at SCO Concert Hall and Singapore Conference Hall
Another special highlight is SCO’s Ancient Moon, Present Light concert—designed just for the little ones. For the very first time, children six and under can delight in an evening of moonlit melodies, as Associate Conductor Moses Gay leads the orchestra through familiar festive tunes.
It’s a beautiful way to introduce young children to the enchanting world of Chinese orchestral music. Catch this one-night-only experience on 4 October at the SCO Concert Hall.
