📍 Easter Events in Singapore (By Area)

Getting ready for Easter with the family? Here are some popular Easter events and activities across Singapore that you can explore.

☀️ Marina Bay/ Central Business District

If you're looking for a jam-packed, all-about-Easter day of activities for the kids, consider bringing them to the Easter Carnival, part of Fullerton Hotel's Easter Cheer By The Bay programme in CBD. Meanwhile, you have the options of enjoying the hotel's star facilities, savouring a delicious brunch with the adults or joining in on the egg hunt fun.

☀️ Orchard/ Tanglin

On the other hand, if you have a simple weekend in mind and would like to take the family out, you'll be happy to know that there are fantastic Easter brunches you can indulge in at many hotels and galleries near you. Located in Singapore's Mandarin Gallery, Wild Honey is perfect for those seeking a leisurely, cafe-style Easter brunch.

For a commercial twist on the old-fashioned Easter egg hunt, how about catching a magic show, meeting the Easter Bunny and grooving along to fun beats while hunting for eggs? 👀

☀️ Mandai/ North Singapore

If you're feeling even more adventurous and had "outdoor play" in mind, look no further than egg-citing activities with wildlife. 🐦

These curated activities are suitable for the entire family, especially for kids, too! Even if these events are out of your way, you are sure to find community Easter picnics and pop-ups in your area.

💡 Tip for Families During Easter Celebrations

Here are some helpful tips to save a little extra and make sure everyone gets to enjoy the celebrations and special moments without any last-minute stress or disappointment.

✅ Tip 1: Book your tickets in advance

Many Easter event organisers and hotels offer online booking with early-bird pricing. For example, popular Easter brunch and staycation spots, like those at Fullerton Hotel, will fill up 2 to 3 weeks in advance, and other spots may require prepayments or deposits.

We highly recommend booking at least a few weeks in advance to secure your preferred dates and times, especially when it's bound to be a busy Easter weekend. This also gives you the advantage of getting the cheapest slot available for the whole family.

✅ Tip 2: Arrive early when no reservation is required

If you are looking to get the best seat or redeem special Easter gifts at shopping malls, you'll be in better luck if you save yourself a spot before the queue. Plus, you'll have ample time to survey the event's programmes and stalls if you arrive ahead of schedule.

Here are some examples of when you should make it to your chosen event ahead of time:

• Slots are first-come, first-served at the Tanglin Mall Easter Piñata Party, so you would want to arrive before the show or event you want to catch. The Piñata Smash-tacular event is at 2 pm on both days; be there at least 15 minutes ahead of time.
• Free seating for brunch at Wild Honey Mandarin Gallery, go early (before 11 am) to avoid long queues

✅ Tip 3: Visit midweek instead of the exact holiday

Many families tend to go on a long holiday, whereby parents tend to apply for leave earlier ahead of the Easter weekend to have less crowded experiences, shorter queues, and easier parking.

Many of the Easter celebrations run for weeks, so you can choose a weekday or a weekend where it's not too close to the exact date, so that you can avoid congestion and higher weekend pricing.

🏡 How to Celebrate Easter at Home

For those of you who prefer a homey and cosy Easter celebration at home, we’ve got you covered too! You can still have plenty of fun on a budget. All you need to do is plan simple, family-focused traditions.

🖌️ Decorating Easter eggs

This activity unleashes your artistic side, regardless of your age. Usually, families will gather around the table to decorate the Easter eggs before hiding them for an indoor Easter egg hunt.

Just prepare some coloured dyes, coloured papers, glitter, glue, and brushes in advance, and you'll soon find yourself immersed in the whole process.

Parents, explore these fun Easter games to try out with your children.

🧁 Preparing an Easter feast

Remember when we talked about buns and desserts earlier? You can make sure everyone gets involved in the baking or cooking process.

While baking, you can remind the children about the significance of hot cross buns — where they are baked and served as a remembrance of Christ's crucifixion. If you have a sweet tooth, you can try out this lovely Simnel cake recipe too.

🎤 Singing Easter songs

Finally, Easter is also a time to reflect on one’s faith and beliefs. An Easter celebration is never complete without a selection of songs.

Whether it’s traditional Easter hymns or contemporary worship songs, it’s certainly a wonderful time to sing and uplift your spirits — even at home.

We hope you have enjoyed the recommendations in this article, and have a good Easter celebration with your family and loved ones.

The great gift of Easter is hope.
