After a two year hiatus, Ramadan bazaars are finally back in Singapore! Here is the ultimate guide to all the Ramadan bazaars you can head to for the best treats and Raya shopping.
Ramadan marks a month of fasting before Hari Raya Aidilfitri, which falls on 3 May 2022.
It’s the month when our Muslim friends not only refrain from food and water from dawn to dusk, but also tobacco products, intimate relations, and sinful behaviour. As the spiritual rewards of fasting are believed to be multiplied during Ramadan, Muslims also devote themselves to special prayers and recitation of the Quran.
In addition, it's also an exciting month of festive food bazaars in Singapore which are finally back after a two-year hiatus no thanks to COVID-19.
There are tonnes of Ramadan Bazaars happening this year, from the most popular Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar to the WalkThru Souk by Laloolalang and many more. Here’s the ultimate guide to all the Ramadan Bazaars in Singapore, and what you can expect there.
