Returning for its 10th edition, the Singapore River Festival 2026 is a celebration of the people, places, and stories that have defined the Singapore River. Dubbed The Quay Collective, this event which will take place from 11 to 20 September 2026, is bringing together immersive experiences, performances, and activities around the Singapore River vicinity. 

The festival will take place across 3 zones: the Entertainment Zone @ Boat Quay,

Expression Zone @ Clarke Quay, and Lifestyle & Wellness Zone @ Robertson Quay. Each of these locations will bring its own flavour and energy, breathing extra life into the area over 10 days.

For instance, at the Entertainment Zone @ Boat Quay, visitors can transport themselves through time with The River Echo Chambers, a captivating 8-minute projection show on heritage shophouse facades. Through ‘portals’, cinematic visuals, and an original soundtrack, you will journey through the past, present, and future of the Singapore River.

Avengers Endgame: Encore

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 exclusive footage from Avengers: Doomsday early. 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.
