From 5:00pm to 9:30pm, start the evening by taking part in Street Chess by Aliwal Chess Club — a casual, open-to-all activation where you can challenge friends, co-workers or even a fellow park-goer to a friendly chess match right in the heart of Raes Place. 

Known as Singapore’s #1 unorthodox chess collective, Aliwal Chess Club brings the game to life with a unique blend of strategy, street style, and creative culture — turning everyday spaces into unexpected battlegrounds for the mind.

Then, slow things down with nostalgic childhood favourites like marbles, chapteh, and pick-up sticks with artist collective PLAY!. It’s a chance to relive your childhood or introduce these timeless games to a new generation.

Groove to the Rhythm of the City

Let the beat carry you away as El Professionel kicks things off at 5:00pm with an energetic DJ set. At 6:30pm, unwind further with soulful acoustic tunes from local singer Benny — the perfect soundtrack as the sun sets over the skyline.
