Foodies are in for a treat as the Singapore Food Festival (SFF) is returning for its 32nd edition with a buffet of culinary experiences from Sept 4 to 24, the festival announced on Friday (July 4).
Themed Have You Eaten Yet? as a nod to how many Asian cultures express love, SFF 2026 will offer more than 15 events, including a series of SG60 Specials, as well as more than 50 curated experiences by the festival's affiliate partners.
line-up saw three overall event formats named Signature Events, Pop-up Events and Unique Events, and these will continue for this year's edition.
And like the 2024 edition, SFF 2026 will take place across multiple venues — from hawker centres to heritage districts and modern dining spaces, according to SFF's website, moving away from where it was held in a single location.
While full event details for the three Pop-up Events and seven Unique Events have not been announced yet, the three Signature Events are the same as the previous year: The Long Table, Food is Art and Future Food.
The Long Table is a unique communal dining experience where each dish is crafted and paired with immersive storytelling and theatrical elements while Food is Art brings together award-winning dessert chefs, mixologists, artists and high fashion to transform food into artforms, SFF said in a statement.
Future Food explores food innovation, featuring experimental tastings, molecular gastronomy demos and presentations from food innovators.
The Pop-up Events will include food truck tours and immersive heritage explorations while the Unique Events are designed to blend culinary innovation with art, culture and immersive elements such as rooftop suppers and cultural mashups, according to the website.
SFF also shared that the series of SG60 Specials will celebrate Singapore's heritage with modern twists and other online activations.
The line-up of curated experiences by the festival's affiliates include in-store promotions, limited-time menus and more, according to the website.
SFF 2026's central hub will be at Mise en Place @ Dempsey Hill, an open-to-public space that will serve as an all-in-one experience centre showcasing a variety of curated food, lifestyle and culture experiences.
The hub will also house Zumbo Desserts helmed by Australian celebrity chef Adriano Zumbo, marking his debut in Asia.
Food Stories in July
Leading up to the festival in the month of July, there will also be a digital showcase series called Singapore Food Stories on social media highlighting personal stories and recipes shared by everyday Singaporeans.
For those who love supporting local hawkers, SFF 2026 has also named Chinatown Complex Food Centre as its Heritage Hawker Partner this year, shining a light on the ones who have dedicated decades to preserving Singapore's traditional food scene.
Throughout the duration of the festival, the food centre will carry the banner of SFF 2026.
Full lineups and more information will be updated on SFF's website and social media platforms.
