Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar is one of Singapore’s most highly-anticipated events and the night market is set to return on Friday, 03 May 2019.

Look forward to halal-certified delicacies, traditional Malay clothing and more. Striving to improve from last year’s bazaar, organisers are arranging the vendors according to various themes and ensuring that at least 60% of its food stalls are selling authentic Malay food.
