Things to do in Singapore in Nov 2026

It’s finally Nov, with just 2 more months left before the year comes to an end. As the festive season draws closer, there’s plenty to explore around Singapore. From fitness competitions to a relaxed evening with orchestral music, the possibilities are endless.

If you’re wondering how to have a fun time in Nov 2026, here are 11 of the best things to do in Singapore during this month. 

How I chose these best things to do in Nov 2026

These are the 3 main criteria I used to decide which activities to recommend:

• Variety: The activities on this list cater to a range of interests, from sports to arts & culture.
• Wide price range: From paid events to free events, there’s something for every budget.
• Accessibility: I included events located in different parts of Singapore so you can pick the one most convenient for you.

I have also grouped them into 3 different categories, so you can find what suits you best.

• Activities & Wellness
• Food & Beverages
• Arts & Culture

This isn’t a ranked best-to-worst things-to-do list, but a collection of the most enjoyable activities overall, in no particular order. Get ready to head out to have fun before the year inevitably ends!

1. AIA HYROX Singapore 2026 (26 – 29 Nov 2026)

Ready to put your strength and stamina to the test before the year ends? AIA HYROX Singapore 2026 returns from 26 to 29 Nov 2026, bringing 4 days of high-energy fitness competition to our red dot. You can expect an accessible and inclusive fitness movement that remains challenging at HYROX. If you’re 16 years or older and prepared, you can take on HYROX as a challenge. Fun fact: their oldest contestant to date is 73 years old — wow!

There are 2 divisions in HYROX: Pro (for seasoned athletes seeking maximum intensity) and Open (for those wanting something a little more accessible). Each participant takes on an 8km run, broken up by 8 workout stations that include exercises such as sled pulls, sled push, burpee broad jumps and more.

If the thought of tackling the course solo in HYROX Open/Pro sounds intimidating, sign up for HYROX Doubles/Doubles Pro with a friend. Alternatively, you can find 3 friends and take on HYROX Relay, with each member completing part of the course. Younger fitness enthusiasts aged 8 to 15 years old can also look out for HYROX Youngstars, happening on 28 and 29 Nov 2026.

8. 2026 Singapore Young Artists Symphony Concert (4 Nov 2026)

Why not spend an evening listening to the next generation of talented, bright young musicians? Fill your evening with classical music at the 2026 Singapore Young Artists Symphony Concert, held on 4 Nov 2026, 7pm – 8.30pm at Victoria Concert Hall. If you’re a classical music newbie, this is a refreshing way to end off your day after dinner. Alternatively, if you’re a regular concertgoer, why not support our budding artists? Tickets cost S$16.82. 

Organised by Artists Association Singapore and co-organised by GL Piano Together and Sing Musical Together, this 90-minute concert offers audiences an opportunity to discover emerging performers while enjoying the atmosphere of a live orchestral performance. 

In my opinion, watching young musicians perform together gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling, knowing you’re supporting them and watching their individual skills alongside the coordination and teamwork needed to bring an ensemble piece to life. Plus, the concert may also be a good introduction for children who are learning musical instruments or are considering taking up one.
