Changi Festive Village 2026: Pokémon photo spots, a Glow Garden and a 24-hour Experience Lounge across Changi Airport, to 3 January

Dates: 3 Nov 2026 – 3 Jan 2027 · daily 12am to 11.59pm (T3 stage, lounge and Mezastar open 24 hours)

The Pokémon parade weekend is over, but Changi Airport’s year-end Changi Festive Village carries on until Sunday 3 January 2027. This year it’s all Pokémon, spread across Terminals 1 to 4 and Jewel, in both the public and transit areas. Here’s what’s still on and which parts you can reach without a boarding pass.

Neighbourhood

Changi (Changi Airport T1 to T4 and Jewel)

Best for

Pokémon fans, families, travellers with time before a flight

Budget

Many photo spots and shows are free; some activities and premiums need a minimum spend

Time to allow

1 to 2 hours in T3; longer if you add Jewel

Nearest MRT

Changi Airport (EW29/CG2), under T2 and T3

Good to know

The Glow Garden and Night Parade are in T1 transit, so you need a flight to see them

Why go?

The T3 stage and Pokémon Experience Lounge on Level 2 are open 24 hours, so it works for very early or very late flights.

Most of it is indoors and free to look at, which makes it a good rainy-day outing in the east.

Flyers get extras that most people can’t see: a Pokémon Glow Garden and a night parade in the T1 transit area.

What to do

01 · Terminal 3 public area

T3 Level 2 has the PokéXciting! stage, with a Pikachu stage, a snow show and Pokémon photo moments, plus the Pokémon Experience Lounge with Nintendo Switch 2, the Pokémon Trading Card Game and battles. Both are open 24 hours. On Level B2 there’s the Pokémon Mezastar arcade (24 hours) and a Personalisation Station where you can add a name and Pokémon charms to a cap or Poké Ball bag.

02 · Transit-only extras

If you’re flying, look for the Pokémon Glow Garden in the Discovery Garden at Terminal 1 Transit, Level 2, and the night edition of the Pokémon Parade in T1 Departure Transit. Our tip: check the Changi page for the parade times before you check in, so you can clear immigration early enough.

03 · Jewel and the big screen

At Jewel you can spot 34 Pokémon in Forest Valley and do the Pokémon Trading Card Game Quiz Rally; Jewel’s Pokémon activities run until 31 January 2027. Pokémon shorts also play on the big screen at ST3PS in T3. Meet-and-greets with Pikachu, Eevee, Gengar, Mimikyu, Piplup and Snorlax happen in special sessions, so check the schedule.
