Singapore Public Holidays 2021 & Festivals Complete Listing
Singapore is a multi-racial, multilingual and multi-religious society with a total population about 5.7 million residents. Commonly known as “The Little Red Dot”, Singapore is one of a few countries with an AAA credit rating based on its highly developed market economy. Singapore is well known with its modern city state development and economic growth that flourishes as much as its greenery.
The bustling metropolis of Singapore overflows with promising businesses, markets and trade. A cohesive, multiracial, multireligious and inclusive society has contributed to Singapore’s success over the years.
We are one of the most religiously diverse country in the world, where people of all faiths live, work and even worship together in our city. Made up of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian and various other ethnicities, cultural heritage is an important part of a Singaporean’s identity. Each of the ethnic communities maintain their unique way of life and at the same time live harmoniously.
This rich and vibrant multicultural heritage of Singapore is celebrated through many diverse festivals, spread over the calendar year. This unique blend of cultures and people, Singapore’s event calendar is marked with holidays and celebrations all year round. Festivals range from religious celebrations, socio-cultural festivities and sports events.
