The first that stands out to us is Into the Glowcean, an experience open at Singapore Oceanarium from 5 September 2026 to 1 November 2026. This takes your visit to the Oceanarium to the next level with after-dark moments, allowing you to see the waters and their inhabitants in a new light.

Tickets for Halloween Horror Nights 14 are already on sale for admissions on select nights from 25 September 2026 to 1 November 2026. Find out more and get your tickets early here.

There’ll also be a special collaboration with Streething, Green-house, and Sundae Kids Pop-up, making it an excellent opportunity to discover and see things on-site.

Avengers Endgame: Encore (24 Sep onwards)

The most anticipated movie in the rest of 2026 is probably Avengers: Doomsday. The Avengers movie – the first in 7 years – will be released on 17 December 2026 here in Singapore. 

And there is no better time to prepare for it than in September, because Marvel has announced that it will bring the last Avengers movie, Avengers: Endgame, back to theatres on 24 September 2026.

Titled Avengers Endgame: Encore, this seems, for the most part, to be Marvel’s way of building excitement for Avengers: Doomsday, while reconnecting audiences to the movie franchise. This is especially for those who have yet to catch up with the series since 2019’s Endgame or are new to the MCU.

This re-release of Endgame will be shown in IMAX and Infinity Vision screens and give audiences an early look at exclusive footage from Avengers: Doomsday. For me, this is definitely an experience worth going to the theatre again for.

If you’d like to relive the magic of watching Endgame in theatres in 2019, or want to prepare for Avengers: Doomsday, keep an eye out online for when tickets go on sale.
