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.

Director Jack Neo uses AI to create SG60 song, includes AI image of Lee Kuan Yew
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox An AI-generated image of Lee Kuan Yew in Jack Neo's music video for the song, We Are Singapore. SINGAPORE – Local film-maker Jack Neo has created a new music video in conjunction with the month of National Day, using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to recreate images such as the appearance of Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew and his voice. Neo, 65, posted the music video for the song, We Are Singapore, on social media on Aug 18. Referring to Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's National Day Rally speech on Aug 17, Neo wrote in Chinese: 'The speech by PM Wong yesterday once again reminded us of the importance of unity among Singaporeans. With this in mind, I would like to share with you a belated SG60 song. Although it was not released on National Day, August remains the month of National Day. It's not too late to express this gesture.' Neo revealed in an interview with Chinese-language evening daily Shin Min Daily News that it took him about a month to complete the entire song. 'I wrote the lyrics myself, taking two to three weeks to conceptualise them. The arrangement, composition and vocals were generated by AI,' he said. 'The biggest challenge was that AI generated many versions of the song – each of which sounded great – so I had to choose the one I was most satisfied with. I chose this version because it resonated with a more Singaporean feel.' The AI-generated image of the late Mr Lee appeared in the final scene of the music video. Neo used AI to recreate the iconic voice of Mr Lee, who said: 'I wish Singapore a happy 60th birthday. Happy birthday.' Neo said he believed many people would not forget the contributions made by Mr Lee to Singapore. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

PHOTO: JACKNEOCK/INSTAGRAM 'Singapore is now celebrating SG60 with happiness, and I always feel that the nation's prosperity, progress and global standing are inseparably linked to his tireless efforts back then,' he said. 'Using AI to have him join us in the celebration feels very meaningful to me.' Neo also incorporated AI-generated images of historical footage, faces of artistes such as himself, Terence Cao, Collin Chee and Dawn Yeoh, as well as Singapore's Cabinet ministers in the video. 'Actually, what I really hoped for was to use AI to generate a version where several Singaporean singers who are well-known internationally, including Stefanie Sun, JJ Lin, A-do, Kit Chan and Tanya Chua, singing this song together,' Neo said. 'I think that would be very interesting, more perfect and and more meaningful.' The film-maker said he had tried using AI to generate images of these singers and the results were quite good. However, he decided not to use them as he has not sought permission from the singers and due to the tight production schedule. AI-generated images of artistes such as Jack Neo, Terence Cao, Collin Chee, Asher Su, Dawn Yeoh and Tang Miaoling in Neo's music video for the song, We Are Singapore. PHOTO: JACKNEOCK/INSTAGRAM Neo's music video received different reactions on social media. Some netizens praised him for his innovation and courage in using AI for the video, while other netizens questioned if it was disrespectful to use Mr Lee's AI-generated image. Neo told Shin Min that he would continue to use AI to create songs as well as incorporate AI technology into film production. He had done so for his most recent movie I Want To Be Boss, which opened in Singapore cinemas in January. He believes that AI will assist humans in many areas in the future, but humans will still be in control. 'Many people are afraid of AI, but I don't think there is a need (to fear it),' he said 'AI won't replace humans. The only ones who will be replaced are those who don't know how to use it.'
