24 to 26 August 2018
On 24 to 26 August, join Marina Bay Sands as we help a variety of Singaporean charities to raise funds through fun and exciting family-friendly activities. Whether young or old, members of the public will be inspired to do good for those in need at our 6th annual Sands for Singapore Charity Festival.
The Sands for Singapore Charity Festival is a multi-day event that aims to raise public awareness of our partner charities, and raise funds for them through a series of meaningful events that utilise every facet of the integrated resort – from the retail mall and restaurants, to the convention centre and museum. Since 2013, Marina Bay Sands has raised nearly S$20 million in total for local charities.
Revel in the festive atmosphere and learn more about local charities in a fun and celebratory way as we extend our help to the community and inspire others to give back.
Here is how you can help make an impact!

Make a stop at the Sands for Singapore Charity Festival’s bustling Festival at Event Plaza – a vibrant space to dine, unwind and support a range of meaningful causes. Marina Bay Sands’ celebrity chef and signature restaurants will once again serve up their award-winning menu items in the name of charity – but this time with the help of beneficiaries from local social enterprise Dignity Kitchen, a hawker training school for disabled and disadvantaged people.
Food and drinks from award-winning restaurants: db Bistro & Oyster Bar, LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar, The Bird Southern Table and Bar, Bread Street Kitchen & Bar
Adding to the vibe is live music by solo musicians and local bands Supersonic, 53A and the HubbaBubbas, who will perform every evening during the Festival weekend. You can also participate in a variety of fringe activities that range from art jamming to drone fishing, and have fun while raising funds for local charities.
All proceeds from food and beverage sales at the Festival at Event Plaza will be donated to Community Chest.
