Stefanie Sun and Kit Chan to headline free concert in August as part of Changi Airport and Jewel's SG60 events
As Singapore approaches its 60th birthday, Changi Airport Group (CAG) and Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) are marking the milestone with a series of festive events from July to August.
The main highlight is the SG60 Homecoming Concert headlined by Stefanie Sun and Kit Chan. It will take place on Aug 1 at Jewel's indoor waterfall area. Joining the local music icons are Sezairi Sezali and Regina Song, The Freshman and SuperSonic.
While admission is free, a ticket is required for entry and will be distributed to the public via ballot. Further details will be announced on Changi Airport's social media channels in early July.
On Jul 27, Changi Airport will also be holding a charity walk in support of Community Chest-funded programmes for children with special needs and youths-at-risk.
It will kick off at Terminal 2's Race Village and go on a two-kilometre route along the Changi Airport Connector before ending at Terminal 4. There will be a carnival where participants can enjoy nostalgic local treats like ice cream sandwiches and gem biscuits.
Tickets are required for this event with sign-ups closing on Jul 23. Early bird specials are available until Jun 30, with exclusive discounts for Changi Airport community members. All participants will get a race pack filled with goodies including an event tee, eco-bag, and retail vouchers, which can be collected from Jul 18 to Jul 20.
For those who are unable to attend in person, a 60km virtual run challenge is available. There is also the option to donate directly to the cause via the event's official website.
In addition, Changi Airport is bringing Singapore's iconic flora and fauna to life across its terminals. Starting Jul 21, Terminal 3 will host a 270 sq m floral garden dedicated to Singapore's national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim. The floral extravaganza will include orchid varieties such as Dendrobium Changi Airport and Renanthera Singaporeans.
Over at Jewel, the Jewel Forest Valley will also be transformed into its own orchid wonderland from Aug 1 to 31, featuring more than 1,200 orchids in red and white hues.
To add to the fun, the Changi Experience Studio will have an interactive pop-up exhibition from Aug 1. The Evolution of Travel showcase will look at how air travel – and even in-flight dining – has evolved.

Woman roasted for saying Singapore has ‘no personality', wondering why she didn't see ‘anything ancient'
SINGAPORE: Visitors to any country would do well to do their homework before they come, as this would give them an idea of what they should expect. It will also *coughs in secondhand embarrassment* prevent them from getting roasted online when they reveal how little they know. After a woman said in an interview that she found Singapore to be 'cold' and added that it has 'no personality', commenters online were quick to pounce. Last week, a couple of women took part in a street interview by Emma A Cosmos, who is based in London and regularly talks to people about the experiences and impressions at the different places they've travelled to, or about their home country. @emma_a_cosmos2 Her experience for the first time visiting #singapore 🇸🇬 ♬ original sound – emma_a_cosmos On June 19, the TikTok user asked the two women, 'What country would you never want to visit?' Instead of answering the question, one of the women said that she had been to a country that she didn't like that much. 'And what country was that?' asked the TikTok user. She answered promptly, 'Singapore… It was like there was no personality, kind of like a bit cold. And we were expecting to see something, like old, like the ancient story, and we didn't see that. So we thought, are we missing out on something? Did we not get the memo?' she added, while her companion laughed. The clip has since gotten over 165,000 views and more than 850 comments, with many TikTok users who could almost be seen shaking their heads. 'Ancient story? Singapore? A country founded in 1965?' wrote one. 'God forbid Asian countries getting modern. It's like only the westerners are supposed to progress,' weighed in another. 'Going to Singapore for old and ancient is like going to the US for the Big Ben,' wrote a third, adding, 'People do research before they travel, no?' 'Before you come to visit Singapore, make sure you read up the history of it. Then you'll learn to appreciate and be amazed by the change,' a commenter wrote. Others, however, decided to take a more humorous approach. 'Lim Chu Kang – very ancient. Very peaceful and quiet. You should go there,' joked one. 'Cold??? I think you went to the wrong country,' wrote another, followed by some laughing emojis. 'Lady read about Cambodia and came to Singapore,' a wisecracker chimed in. Others, however, weighed in to say that they found Singapore dull, with one even calling it 'the most boring place on earth.' Another wrote, 'Singapore seems a little bit 'robotic'. It's like a scripted kinda place if you get what I mean. Clean, yes, but monotone.' Nevertheless, a commenter probably spoke for many when they wrote, 'Don't worry. We still love our country and currency.' /TISG Read also: Traffic marshal shocked after tourist asks him which country the National Day Parade rehearsal was for
