Places To Party In Singapore: Singapore River Festival 2009


Where are the great places to party in Singapore? Which venues have the best places to party in Singapore? What qualities do you define as good places to party in Singapore?

Well, I am no party animal. So am not an expert on the places to party in Singapore. I am just an individual, with a spouse and three kids, living on an island attempting to discover more life, places of interest, family-friendly events and offbeat activities in a fast-paced cosmopolitan society.

My idea of places to party in Singapore would not please all party-goers. My kind of places to party in Singapore really centres around children's birthday parties, which I celebrate and 'party' three times a year. In fact I'm not going to go into details on the favourite places of my family to party in Singapore.

The only places to party in Singapore that I will mention relates to the Singapore River Festival 2009.

This year's Singapore River Festival 2009 will come alive on 19 Jun 2009 and present partying opportunities to visitors until 27 Jun 2009. Along the Singapore River, around Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay, many engaging events at party places in Singapore will light up the night for revelers.

Some of the Singapore River Festival 2009 highlights and the party places in Singapore:

a specially-commissioned romantic musical and bumboat parade paying tribute to the people of the river,

a music festival celebrating our vibrant musical past,

spectacular aerial performances,

a Mojito festival,

themed parties,

an attempt at a record-making performance of mega illusions and

a dance marathon.

With multiple dining establishments along the river, visitors to the Singapore River Festival 2009 can look forward to party places in Singapore with specially-priced Mojito cocktails, a food and wine festival, one-for-one deals and a host of other irresistible food and beverage promotions to augment the party mood.

If you prefer after hours socialising, feasting and partying at the party palces in Singapore, the Singapore River Festival 2009 could be the event of the year for you. Parents with kids would have to wait till your kids are asleep in the care of reliable childminders before whisking off to the Singapore River Festival party places.

Singapore River Festival

The inaugural Singapore River Festival (19 September to 28 September) will be launched with a ten-day-long series of music, dance and entertainment parties to be held at the Singapore River. In celebration of three key elements (water, heritage and entertainment) of the iconic Singapore River landmark, the Singapore River Festival is planned to be a signature tourism event for years to come.

I understand that this music, dance and entertainment festival will be put up by organizations along the Singapore River to make it a more hip and happening place. This Singapore River Festival event is to be held for the first time in conjunction with the Singapore Grand Prix (GP) season.

From 8pm on 19 September, visitors to the Singapore River Festival at Clarke Quay jetty can be entertained at the Solid Groove Party where performers like Wicked Aura Batucada, Jive Talking from the Pumping Room, Bushmen, Najip Ali with DJ Aldrin and DJ Josh. This will be followed up with more Singapore River Festival acts in the Urban Jazz Crossover performance the next evening featuring Quasimode Live (from Japan), Cosa Bostra Live, Cubania from Azzucar and Don (all from Singapore).

At the Clarke Quay atrium, you can catch many dance performances for free in the Singapore River Festival. In Electrik Boogaloo event, to be held on 26 September from 10pm, DJ Aldrein from One will spin the discs with live dance party performance acts by Lapsap from KL and Inquisitive from Singapore.

Celebrating Hip Hop of Asia will take centrestage on 27 September from 10pm at the Singapore River Festival. MC Vandal from California will lead the crowd with more performances by Arabyrd (from KL), Inquisitive, Freaky Z, aided by DJ Titus from Attica.

The ‘live’ broadcast of Singapore’s first Formula One race will take place at Clarke Quay during the Singapore River Festival on 28 September 2008 from 8pm to 10pm.

A final big bash will be performed on the penultimate day of the Singapore River Festival celebration. Wicked Aura Batucada, Sri Warisan, Kohinoor Bhangra, Zingo Festival Drum, Stassh and Vinnie Q (from Hong Kong) will wow visitors who enjoy music and dance. Note however that all these line-ups at the Singapore River Festival are subject to change.
