Things to do in Singapore in October 2025

It’s the start of another month in Singapore, and that means more new things to explore and experience! We are not quite yet in the holiday season (we’re getting there soon), but there is still much to look forward to in Oct 2025 – from the fast-arriving F1 season, to the Mid-Autumn Festival, to more food promos and events. Keep scrolling for fun & tasty stuff to try this month.

1. Gear up for the F1 buzz

You may or may not be a fan of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, but the race isn’t the only thing happening this Grand Prix Season Singapore. From food promos to concerts to race-themed activities, there is much to do, especially in the first week of Oct. Check out our curated list of recommendations here. 

2. Visit the PERFORMA Premium Retail Gallery

One of the unique pop-ups you can visit this Grand Prix Season is the PERFORMA premium retail gallery at the open space outside Plaza Singapura. Happening daily from now till 5 Oct, you can drop by to shop or participate in some turbocharged activities. Spending a minimum of S$50 in this space will also allow you to spin a wheel at the Mystery Garage Wall and stand a chance to win merchandise and shopping vouchers. 

There are also F1-inspired photobooths, with a digital AI photo station, where you can generate a Driver Profile Card of yourself. Getting a digital copy of this is totally free, but you need to spend a minimum of S$30 for a hard copy.

Over here, you can browse sports equipment, fashion offerings and accessories, some of which were made with recycled waste materials. Whether you are looking for a nice bag, new kicks, or a pickleball paddle, you can find it here.

Talking about pickleball, you can also challenge yourself to some pickleball or mini-tennis games right outside the retail gallery. There is a net set up for you and also a booth to test your accuracy. There are also free ice-cold Monster Energy drinks, so feel free to grab one to beat the heat or recharge after your game. 

Lastly, there are also sessions and workshops you can register for. If you are up for a high-intensity workout, you can sign up for a 20 – 30-minute session on any of the days during PERFORMA. Each day will have a different programme and exercise, so make sure to check out which one you’ll be most interested in here. The sessions are priced at S$25, but are currently 50% off. 

If you want to exercise your creative muscles, you can also register for the complimentary Bungkus Workshop, where you will turn recycled plastic waste into keychains you can bring home.
