Light to Night Singapore marks its milestone 10th edition with the empowering theme “The Power in Us”. The festival presents a brand-new SANTAI series of interactive and exciting art installations, light projections from the lens of various communities, and electrifying programmes across the Civic District. Illuminating the precinct and beyond daily from 9 to 31 January 2026, this is the festival’s longest edition yet, unfolding across four vibrant weekends for the first time. Artists, diverse communities, and festivalgoers are invited to become active participants, shaping their own festival journeys. With day-to-night programming and novel offerings each week, visitors can enjoy multiple visits and kickstart their new year at Singapore’s crowd-favourite art festival.
Light to Night Singapore 2026: The Power in Us invites audiences to celebrate and engage with diverse perspectives through participatory and socially engaged art. From outdoor art installations to indoor performances and programmes, each experience serves as a space for people to reflect, converse, and create. Embodying this is SANTAI, a series commissioned specially for the festival’s 10th edition, located across five key gathering points around the historic Civic District – the Padang, Empress Lawn, Front Lawn at The Arts House at the Old Parliament, ACM Green, and Esplanade Park. Inspired by the Malay word ‘santai’ which means to relax, the series features interactive art installations that transform various Civic District locations into spaces for gathering and contemplation.
