Singaporean Festivals in April
With Singapore's weather in April being the best, the sheen and vibrant culture the city is reflected in its festivals. Celebrated with great pageantry, these festivals speak volumes of the love and unity that lies in Singapore's ethnic and cultural diversity. The calendar here is full of such celebrations, and even April has some unique and special festivals waiting for you!
1. Qingming Festival
This Chinese festival bears a close resemblance to 'All Souls Day' celebrated in the western world. The word Qingming means 'clear, and bright' and this festival falls on the 15th day after the spring equinox. The Chinese people remember their ancestors by visiting their tombs and graves - clean them with brooms, and leave offerings of fruits, vegetables, meat, rice and wine along with incense sticks. You will be amused to see them offering 'paper gifts' at the tombs or even tossing a coin. This is done to pray for the material well-being of the departed souls in their afterlife. Considering the population of Chinese in Singapore, this festival holds great significance for the country and its people. It usually takes place on the 4th or 5th or 6th of April, so adjust your trip accordingly.
