Singapore Events March 2027: Hari Raya Puasa and the March School Holidays

← Home

This guide to Singapore events March 2027 covers a comparatively quiet month on Singapore’s events calendar — a breather after February’s Chinese New Year rush. The main organized draws are the March school holidays and, if it returns for a second year, Sentosa Beach Fest, with Hari Raya Puasa bringing Geylang Serai to life toward month’s end. It’s also, by National Environment Agency data, one of the sunniest, driest-feeling stretches of the year, making it a solid month for outdoor plans without a headline event dictating your trip.

Sentosa Beach Fest (dates TBC — may not recur)

When: Not yet confirmed for 2027. Sentosa Beach Fest launched in March 2026 as an inaugural event timed to that year’s school holidays (14–22 March 2026) — as of this writing, Sentosa Development Corporation hadn’t confirmed whether it returns for a second edition, let alone on what dates. If it does return, the March school holidays (13–21 March 2027) are the most likely window based on the 2026 pattern.
Where: Siloso Beach, Sentosa (2026 venue).
What it is: in its 2026 debut, this was a large-scale beach festival combining a sports zone (obstacle course, beach volleyball, battle-rope competitions), a family zone, wellness classes, and evening entertainment including ticketed weekend parties.

Traveler tip: Check sentosa.com.sg closer to your trip to see whether a 2027 edition has been announced. If it hasn’t, Sentosa’s beaches and regular attractions are still very much open and worth a visit on their own.

Hari Raya Puasa (10 March 2027)

When: public holiday Wednesday, 10 March 2027, per Singapore’s official public-holiday calendar. As with all Islamic calendar dates, the exact day depends on moon sighting and could shift by a day closer to the date.
Where: island-wide, with Geylang Serai as the traditional cultural hub.
What it is: Hari Raya Puasa (Aidilfitri) marks the end of Ramadan and is one of the most significant celebrations for Singapore’s Muslim community, marked by family visits, festive meals, and new clothes. The Geylang Serai Ramadan bazaar traditionally runs for several weeks in the lead-up — exact 2027 bazaar dates were not yet published at the time of writing and should be confirmed closer to Ramadan.

Traveler tip: If your trip lands in the weeks before 10 March, check whether the Geylang Serai bazaar has opened — it’s one of the best food-and-shopping street experiences in Singapore when running. On the public holiday itself, expect many Malay-owned shops and eateries to close as families gather, so plan meals elsewhere that day.

What Is March Like for Travelers

Weather is on the side of Singapore events March 2027: March marks Singapore’s shift out of the Northeast Monsoon’s wetter phase. National Environment Agency data puts average rainfall at around 151.7mm over 12 rain days — more than February but still well below January — while daytime highs climb to around 32.2°C and the month ranks among the year’s sunniest. It’s a warm, increasingly dry stretch that suits outdoor plans well.

What Should Tourists Prioritize

  • Beach and outdoor-activity travelers: check whether Sentosa Beach Fest returns for the 13–21 March school holiday window; if not, Siloso Beach itself is still worth a day regardless.
  • Cultural travelers: build in an evening at the Geylang Serai bazaar in the weeks before Hari Raya Puasa, and expect a quieter, more residential feel on the 10 March holiday itself.
