Valentine’s Sing-off

We take our karaoke seriously. In collab with HaveFun Karaoke (yes, the one that mimics a true concert stage environment for an immersive singing experience), Downtown East and nEbO (NTUC's youth community arm) are bringing the Valentine’s Day-themed singing competition, with the final round held live at HaveFun Karaoke (Downtown East) on Feb 11, 7pm.

Flaunt your vocal prowess if you've got it. We are rewarding the winner and top three finalists with more than $10,000 in prizes ($5,000 in cash) and more!

The Valentine’s Day Sing-Off is open to everyone. You can sing in nearly any language as HaveFun Karaoke has a database of over 450,000 songs in more than 12 languages. The contest is open to all Singaporeans and PRs residing locally, aged between 18 and 35 years old. Registration is $15+ for the public and $10+ for nEbO members (excludes ticketing platform charges).

Round One [now - Jan 15]: Register via Eventbrite and submit an audition video singing a song of their choice for no longer than four minutes. Entries are to be submitted to vdaysingoff@ntucclub.com.sg

Round Two [Jan 23 - 30]: 15 finalists will be shortlisted with their videos uploaded to Valentine’s Sing-Off Facebook Event Page for public voting.

Finals [Feb 11, 7pm]: The top 10 contenders will belt it out for victory in the finals.

WTT Singapore Smash 2023 Showcase

We've got something on the table for ping pong fans happening at Downtown East (Event Square). Grab the paddle, show off those nifty moves from Feb 4 - 12 with ‘free-play’ sessions – and take the opportunity to see some great table tennis action in showcase matches and challenges (Feb 4 & 11, 2pm).

On Feb 4 and 11, audiences catching the showcase matches will stand a chance to win coveted tickets (worth from $28 each) to the finals of the second edition of the Singapore Smash 2023 table tennis finals (Mar 7 -19) at Singapore Sports Hub by taking part in novelty games hosted by a WTT emcee at Event Square.
