Festivals Unlocked Travelling Exhibition

Bring the free "Festivals Unlocked" travelling exhibition to your school and let students explore the origins and values behind six Chinese festivals.

Last updated 13 August 2026

A travelling exhibition about Chinese festivals and the values they embody.

Details

“Festivals Unlocked” is an exhibition that brings new perspectives to six age-old Chinese festivals – Chinese New Year, Qingming, Duanwu, Zhongyuan, Mid-Autumn, and Winter Solstice. Each festival and the values they embody are brought to life through a locker, inviting students to “unlock” surprising origins and distinctive practices behind each festival. Beyond legends and fun facts, personal stories contributed by students reflect the diverse ways in which each festival is celebrated by Singapore Chinese families. Exhibition texts are in English and Chinese. An area of 25m2 will be ideal for the exhibition, with a recommended two weeks display period at each campus. Co-organised by Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, Nan Chiau High School, and Nanyang Girls’ High School.
