Developed by creative brains, Mervin Tan and Cheryl Sim from Plus Collaboratives, Re-Route Festival is a placemaking festival that will immerse visitors in an alternate storytelling of the Little India district. Supported by Singapore Tourism Board and DesignSingapore Council, the Re-Route Festival aims to demonstrate how design can be used as a tool to spotlight Singapore’s heritage through a collective of creative voices.
Taking place from Friday, 16 September to Sunday 9 October 2022, the three-week long festival will host curated experiences, installations, programmes, and other design activations, to encourage people to detour from their usual routes to explore the district with a new perspective and connect with Little India’s lesser-known history.
Visitors can also purchase event merchandise as well as taste culinary delights specially created for the Re-Route Festival.
