The spirit of Hari Raya comes alive in Singapore weeks before the actual celebrations.

The festive hub is along Sims Avenue and Changi Road, which is easily accessible from Paya Lebar and Eunos MRT stations.

This year 2025, there will be a physical bazaar filled with more than 500 stalls from February 26 to March 30, from 10am until midnight except on the final day. Operating hours will be extended until 6am on March 31. To make sure you don't miss out on this experience, you can book your Geylang area hotel tickets through Traveloka.

Hari Raya in Singapore is a time for families to come together and celebrate in style. Many Malay families wear traditional clothing, with men sporting the loose-fitting 'baju Melayu' shirts and trousers, while women adorn themselves in the elegant 'baju kurung,' a full-length blouse and skirt combination.

The festivities kick off with special prayers at the mosque, followed by a heartwarming tradition – Muslims ask for forgiveness from their elders to mend any rifts during the year. The day then unfolds with visits to loved ones, where delicious home-cooked feasts and joyous reunions take center stage.

Celebrating Hari Raya in Singapore is a treat for the palate! Expect a dazzling array of dishes at Hari Raya meals. Taste savory delights like beef rendang, a slow-cooked and flavorful meat dish, and sayur lodeh, mixed vegetables in a rich coconut milk broth. The spicy flavor comes from the sambal, a spicy chili paste.

Fluffy white rice and ketupat, a woven rice cake, complete the meal. Don't forget to save room for dessert! Kueh, a bite-sized sweet, is the main course. Try ondeh-ondeh, chewy balls filled with liquid palm sugar, or putu piring, steamed rice cakes wrapped in grated coconut. These Indonesian or Malaysian delicacies are definitely a must-have for your Hari Raya table.
