4th of July Beats BBQ & Booze

If there’s a better way to celebrate American Independence Day than a good old fashioned backyard BBQ, we don’t know what it is. Camp Kilo Charcoal Club is the place to be on the 4th of July to celebrate ‘Murica with Pabst Blue Ribbon beers, smoky grilled eats like brisket, ribs, chicken and corn on the cob by Decker BBQ and CKCC, and funky beats by KiDG.

July 5 – 7 & July 12 – 14

Ballet Under the Stars

Back for its 24th edition, Ballet Under the Stars is all set to enchant with beautiful dance performances in the lush environs of Fort Canning Park. The first weekend will feature three contemporary works by choreographers and dancers who push the boundaries of modern dance, and the second weekend will highlight snippets from some of the world’s most famous classical ballets.

July 8 – July 9

ACM Symposium: Curating Fashion and Textiles

The Asian Civilisations Museum is creating a permanent gallery of Asian fashion and textiles, and to prepare they’re bringing in directors and curators of some of the best fashion and textiles museums around the world to offer insights. The symposium will run for two days and feature panels on Asia and Europe to brainstorm ideas on how to make the rotating displays as engaging as possible.

July 12 – July 13

Streat

Satisfy your Singaporean food cravings at Streat, the main event of the Singapore Food Festival. Held at The Promontory at Marina Bay, this two-day eating extravaganza will feature classic hawker dishes and modern interpretations of favourites by vendors like Meatsmith, Artichoke, Indian Express and Restaurant Ibid. There will also be a pop-up bar by Origin Bar and live music by local bands and DJs.

July 13

Strawberry Space Open Air

Expect good vibes only at Strawberry Space Open Air, a celebration of music, art, love and happiness. Dmitri from Paris is the headliner, which is perfect considering the party is kicking off on Bastille Day. Come a bit early to warm up your dance moves on the sand at the Sunshine Nation Beach Bonanza, then move over to the main event for an evening of super-sonic beats and awe-inspiring visuals.

July 14

Kebab Party

The Kebab Party is back again at Meatsmith Little India on July 14 with a divine array of succulent grilled meats on sticks. Not too many details have been revealed so far, but the last Kebab Party featured guest chefs offering up unique kebab creations like soy glazed cumin beef and stout marinated lamb kebabs, so we’re guessing the offerings at this edition will be just as drool-worthy.

July 25

Death Cab for Cutie at Esplanade Theatre

If indie rock is your jam, then you won’t want to miss Death Cab for Cutie at The Esplanade Theatre on July 25. A few fun facts about the band: they got their start in the early 2000s and have earned eight Grammy Award nominations over the two decades they’ve been together. The concert will start at 8pm and feature a roster of old favourites and new songs from their latest album, Thank You For Today.

July 27

Hotdogs & Hip Hop

It doesn’t get more urban than a hotdog and hip hop block party in an open-air car park. Come get your groove on and chow some good grub at the Golden Mile Towers rooftop with beats by RAH, Eri (Ashley Erianah), Shellsuit, Fauxe, and A/K/A Sounds with MC SWTLKR. Intermission Bar will be serving up the booze and the bites will be brought to us by Fung Kee Hotdogs.

July 27

Do your part to make Singapore a cleaner and greener place by joining the Big Beach Cleanup on July 27. Seven Green Seas and Lush Singapore invite peeps of all ages to meet at Changi Coast Walk at 9am for a quick safety meeting and then a stroll down the beach to comb the sands for trash.
