Under the theme “Have You Eaten Yet?”, the Singapore Food Festival (SFF) returns for its 32nd edition from 4 to 24 September 2025, celebrating everyday care and connection through food.

Anchoring the festival are three annual Signature Events – Food is Art, The Long Table, and Future Food. Each of the signature events showcases Singapore’s rich culinary heritage, creativity, and forward-thinking spirit. This islandwide celebration continues with a diverse line-up of experiences that bring the festival’s flavours to every corner of the city, including the Food Truck City Tours and flavour-packed experiences and events at Mise en Place @ Dempsey Hill.

Food is Art: A Celebration of Gastronomy As The Ultimate Multi-Sensory Muse Opening the signature event series is Food is Art, happening on 5 and 6 September from 6pm till late at Factory @ New Bahru.

Anchored by the imaginative genius of celebrity dessert chef Adriano Zumbo, along with Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore’s award-winning Pastry Chef Goh Dah Liang, and brought to life under the creative direction of fashion curator Daniel Boey, Food is Art invites everyone into a dynamic space where food intersects with fashion, design and music.

Guests will discover fantastical desserts that challenge expectations alongside sculptural food artworks crafted by local creatives. The immersive experience extends to bespoke cocktails crafted by renowned mixologists and curated tastings of wine, sake, coffee and whisky guided by expert sommeliers and baristas. Additionally, The Art Lounge at Food is Art serves as the social heart of the evening – a refined, industrial-chic space where tastemakers, creatives and culinary connoisseurs come together to connect. It offers a space for reflection, discourse and appreciation of everything they are immersed within, be it fine wine, artisanal canapés, or crafted cocktails.

Guests can also expect innovative desserts, couture-inspired canapés, sonic lounges and intimate conversations with Singapore’s leading culinary and creative talents. Yung Raja, a Singaporean breakthrough artist and pioneer of bilingual rap reshaping Southeast Asian hip-hop, will fuse his fashion and music in a special event featuring a dessert collaboration with Chef Adriano Zumbo. Get ready for an electrifying live performance as he showcases his clothing line and kicks off the event with unmatched energy.

As part of its commitment to celebrating local talent and embracing food in all its forms, SFF 2025 will be supporting The Chef – a graphic novel created by a team of home-grown artistes at DripDraw Studios, reflecting Singapore’s hawker culture through the story of a young boy’s journey to becoming a chef. Its vibrant art style broadens the festival’s appeal to younger audiences and highlights Food is Art’s blend of tradition and pop culture, alongside Chef Zumbo’s creative flair.

To help bring the project to life, SFF 2025 is rallying support to raise funds for its eventual publication. Debuting exclusively at SFF 2025, the project offers attendees the unique opportunity to be the first to experience and engage with this compelling story before it is shared with the wider public. Festival-goers are encouraged to contribute and help bring this innovative story to life across festival content and venues. Find out more about The Chef here.

The Long Table: A Celebration of Heritage, Hospitality and Culinary Craftsmanship
