Dates: 2–8 Nov 2026 · 10am to 10pm
Singapore Book Street is a week-long fair of local publishers in VivoCity’s Level 1 Open Atrium, from 2 to 8 November 2026. It’s free to wander in, open until 10pm, and its big practical draw is SG Culture Pass: more than 1,200 titles here can be bought with the S$100 culture credits many Singaporeans haven’t used yet.

Why go?
It’s one of the easiest places to spend SG Culture Pass credits on books, with more than 1,200 eligible titles in one spot.
Everything is from Singapore publishers, so it’s a quick survey of local fiction, poetry, children’s books and non-fiction.
There are free extras for kids and browsers: a stamp rally, a poem cloud machine and author sessions.
What to do
01 · Using SG Culture Pass
Singaporeans aged 18 and above have S$100 in SG Culture Pass credits. Look for the eligible titles (more than 1,200 of them) and pay through the Culture Pass process at the booths. Check your balance in the app before you go.
02 · The free activities
Collect stamps around the booths for the stamp rally, try the poem cloud machine, and check the official site for the author session schedule, which changes day to day.
03 · Combining it with a HarbourFront day
VivoCity also has a public library on the third floor and the boardwalk to Sentosa next door, so the fair fits easily into a half-day out.

Before you go
- Log in to the SG Culture Pass app before you go, so you’re not fumbling with Singpass at the booth.
- Weekday mornings are quietest (our suggestion).
- Upstairs, library@harbourfront at VivoCity is a good place to read your new books, and Singapore for bookworms has more ideas.
