The best things to do in March to make this month a fun-filled one

After a very eventful January and February that were filled with celebrations (Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day), it appears that we have gone into the more “boring” part of the year.

Well, that’s only if you make it boring. Here are events, ranging rom magic shows to latte art classes that you go for to make the upcoming month a fun-filled one.

Singapore Rockfest II
Scorpions and Whitesnake Live in Singapore

If you’re a hardcore fan of rock, you may heard of the iconic German rock band Scorpions, or the English rock band White Snakes, and lucky for you, they’ll be making a pit stop right here on 4 March! Catch them live on stage at their free standing concert at Fort Canning Park and join fellow rock fans in jamming to your favourite tunes.

What’s more, opening the show will be none other than RockWeller, one of Singapore’s most successful rock bands!

Disney on Ice: Live Your Dreams

Fans of Mickey and Minnie would be delighted to find out they’ll be the main hosts of the show!

Home Kitsch Home

This unorthodox display has visitors scratching their heads at the bizarre crocheted versions of objects in our daily lives, like fly swatters, soup ladles and even lampshades. Inspired by kimo-kawaii (the Japanese term for grotesque-cute) concepts, the artist hopes to demonstrate the peculiar idea of how these items hold much emotional significance to us, despite its mundane appearance.

Head down to Esplanade’s Community Wall (located at Level 3) to see and marvel at this weird but wonderful free exhibition yourself! Available until 5 April 2020.
