Capitol Singapore & CHIJMES Celebrate SG60 With Blooming Tribute To Local Culture


As Singapore turns 60, two of its most iconic landmarks come alive with a multi-sensory

celebration of local heritage and culture! From 26 July to 10 August, Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES invite the community to rediscover the music, food, traditions and icons that have made Singapore what it is today.


From nostalgic sing-alongs and musical performances that showcase homegrown talents, to a hands-on Pressed Flower Art Workshop, there’s something for everyone to enjoy as part of the Blooming Singapore campaign! 


Visitors can also marvel at the array of exotic plants from around the Southeast Asian region at CHIJMES’ pop-up Blooming Garden, or snap pictures with larger-than-life orchid displays at both Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES. Plus, they can also stand a chance to win orchid perfumes by Singapore Memories, shopping vouchers and more on the Spin and Win wheel when they post a photo with the orchid centerpiece and tag us on Instagram @Capitolsingapore and @Chijmes.sg. 


Blooming Singapore: A Celebration of Singapore through Music, Food, and Art
