14 Coolest Creative Markets In Singapore This October 2026
A bumper list of pop-up craft markets and creative booth events to visit in Singapore this month, for your fix of art, shopping, and thrifted gems.
We had a whole lot of fun at Singapore’s first edition of Common Rare last month, and this October, we continue supporting local creatives, artists, and collectives with an equally exciting line-up of upcoming pop-up markets. This time, we look forward to a chill roadside market happening as part of a car-free day, a curated market within the National Museum of Singapore, and something for fans of Japanese pop culture. Make sure you check back on this list regularly, as we’ll be expanding it with more updates throughout the month.
