Here’s Your Pride Calendar, Sorted
Pink Dot may be the main event, but June is packed with everything else worth showing up for—from drag shows and club nights to debates, markets and community-led spaces that spill across the city in every direction.
June is Pride Month and while the annual gathering Pink Dot remains its tentpole event, there are many others well worth supporting and turning up for. Here, we’ve put together a list for the
Pink Screen
The beloved queer film festival Pink Fest is back for its ninth edition: this year’s programme moves between camp classics and contemporary queer cinema, tracing LGBTQ+ lives across generations, geographies and moods — from Hollywood drag-road-trip chaos in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995), to the aching quiet of Brokeback Mountain (2005), and newer regional stories like Cactus Pears, which explore love, duty, survival and resistance in South Asian contexts. We’d also recommend Montreal, My Beautiful (pictured), which focuses on a side of queerness seldom depicted on the big screen: middle-aged love; Joan Chen plays a Chinese immigrant who finally picks up the courage to explore new things after decades of repression.

On now till June 28, various times, at Filmhouse, 6001 Beach Road, #05-00 Golden Mile Tower
Faguette
Marina Summers—Filipino drag royalty and no stranger to the spotlight from RuPaul’s Drag Race Philippines, UK vs The World and Drag Race Live in Las Vegas—is kicking off Faguette’s Pride warehouse season in Singapore. The party runs across three Saturdays (June 7, June 21, and July 5), bringing together local and international drag, music and queer nightlife culture in a full-blown celebration of excess, community and survival.

June 7, June 21, and July 5, 5pm - 10.30pm, at 37 Tanjong Pagar Distripark, 37 Keppel Rd, #01-02
AFTERPINK SOCIAL GATHERINGS
This June, queer bar Host turns into AFTERPINK—a weekly Saturday hangout that blends queer community, music and fundraising. Running every Saturday night, the series invites festival-goers to drop in, meet local community groups like Pink Dot, Oogachaga and The T Project, and use the space as a post-event wind-down spot that slowly turns into a party.
Each week features a different soundtrack, kicking off with an electroclash and acid-heavy opening night on June c6 urated by local queer selectors. A portion of all bar proceeds across the month goes directly to Pink Dot, so every drink quietly adds to the fundraising goal.
June 6, 13, 20, 27, 8pm onwards, at Host, 55A Neil Road, level 2
Pink Pasar
Singapore’s best-known inclusive market is bringing together 67 local vendors, selling everything from quirky gifts and designer-made objects to treats for both humans and their four-legged companions. But the real draw is the atmosphere. Across two days, expect pet parades, tarot readings, jagua tattoos, face painting, lucky draws, live music and even pro-wrestling demonstrations by GrappleMax.
June 6, 11am - 8pm, June 6, 11am - 6pm, at New Bahru, 46 Kim Yam Road, level 2
Book vs Screen: The Heated Rivalry Edition
Queer reading group The Other Book Club's next edition comes in a slightly more unhinged format than usual: Book vs Screen: The Heated Rivalry Edition. Rachel Reid’s novel goes head-to-head with the TV adaptation, and everyone in the room is expected to have an opinion—and preferably defend it loudly.
This is not a neutral space. It’s a debate night dressed up as a social, where attendees sign up as either speakers or audience members, then proceed to argue about romance, chemistry, pacing, and which version did the most emotional damage. Expect strong takes, louder laughs, and a potluck that slowly turns into a group debrief of fictional men behaving badly.

June 7, 1pm - 4pm, at Proud Spaces, 243 Alexandra Road, #05-03
Time is a Bowl of Fruit butoh workshop
Artists and butoh practitioners Elden and Kansh are running a one-off movement workshop that uses butoh—a slow, expressive form of Japanese dance—to explore queer identity through the body. Participants will be guided through simple exercises, storytelling and movement prompts that focus on themes like connection, identity and how we relate to ourselves and others. Rather than a traditional dance class, the session is about noticing how emotion and experience can be expressed physically, and creating space for reflection and shared movement in a supportive group setting.

June 11, 7pm - 10pm, at *SCAPE, 2 Orchard Link
CINDY
New queer club night CINDY makes its Singapore debut with a line-up that bridges New York’s underground dance scene and Singapore’s own after-dark community. Making their Singapore debuts are NYC selectors WILHELMINA and CASTILLONAIRE, two rising names in East Coast club culture known for sets that weave together jersey club, hard drum, techno and diasporic rhythms. Fast, percussive and emotionally charged, their sound sits at the intersection of underground dance music and community-driven nightlife.
They’re joined by local favourites Lilith Blaque, howrøng and C2AC, whose sets span ballroom, techno and experimental club sounds from Singapore’s own queer nightlife ecosystem. Before the night opens up, there’s also a pre-party dinner featuring Indonesian cuisine, music and conversation—a slower, more intimate way to gather before the chaos kicks in. From dinner table to dancefloor, CINDY is less a standard club night and more a full evening built around community, connection and movement across scenes.

Dinner starts at 7pm - 10pm, June 12, at HOST bar 55A Neil Road, level 2. The party takes place on June 12, 10pm - 3am, at TUFF club, 138 Robinson Road, #19-01 Oxley Tower
𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗧! 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗱𝗶𝗼𝘁𝘀
RIOT! is back, bringing its signature blend of drag, comedy and glorious chaos to Hard Rock Cafe for Pride. Featuring Ivanya Vylette, Izzy Ershii, Kak Nina Boo, Kira Moon and Sapphire Blast, with Becca D’Bust hosting, the night promises exactly what RIOT! does best: big performances and bigger personalities.
It’s Singapore’s only regular drag revue, which is to say: a rotating cast of some of the fiercest local talent, holding space for camp, stupidity, glamour and whatever else happens when you give queer performers a stage and a mic. This Pride edition leans all the way into its own lore, celebrating what it calls the “Blooming Idiots”—a reminder that sometimes the bit is the point.
And because one show is never enough, the night continues straight into the Sapphic Awards Ceremony Show (S.A.C.S.) by Nail Clipper Club—a sapphic party with an awards segment honouring queer achievements from the past year. You can bundle tickets if you already know you’re not leaving early.
Even more reason to go: the cast of RIOT! Blooming Idiots is pledging all their tips to Pink Dot (this year’s edition is still in the midst of fund-raising), so turn up and tip generiously if you’re able to do so.

June 13, 8pm till late, at Hard Rock Cafe, 50 Cuscaden Road, #02-01 Hpl House
HE.SHE.THEY
London’s HE.SHE.THEY. lands in Singapore for its debut show, teaming up with local collectives FOMOHOMO and MISMATCH for a night of house, techno and queer club energy built around one clear ethos: a dancefloor where everyone is welcome, as long as they move through it with respect and intention. The London-based collective is known globally for its inclusive, touring rave concept—part club brand, part cultural platform—bringing together DJs and performers across cities like Berlin, New York and Ibiza to centre diversity, visibility and community in nightlife.
Headlining the night is HE.SHE.THEY. resident Bimini, the London DJ and artist known for high-intensity sets that move between house, electro, breaks and leftfield club sounds, often threaded with live vocals and a punk-edged energy. The rest of the line-up features favourites from Singapore’s queer nightlife scene like DJ Loyboy and drag queens Fivey, Izzy, Ershii, Plegm and Sapphire Blast, turning the night into a genuine exchange between local and international club cultures.

Inclusive Careers Fair

The Inclusive Careers Fair brings together employers, community organisations and jobseekers for a one-day event centred on inclusion in Singapore’s workplaces. It’s designed for LGBTQ+ individuals, persons with disabilities, neurodivergent talent, racial and ethnic minorities, and women — essentially anyone who hasn’t always had an easy entry point into traditional hiring spaces.
Alongside recruitment booths, there are networking sessions and informal mentorship opportunities with career professionals, plus a photo booth for a quick CV refresh (because a good headshot still goes a long way). It’s part job fair, part community space, and part reminder that “access” in the workplace still often has to be actively built.

June 20, 10am - 5pm, at WeWork, 21 Collyer Quay, Levels 1, 2 & 18
BABY BOY + RIOT!
This is a drag show + afterparty for everyone who can’t be at Hong Lim Park for Pink Dot. Maybe you’ve got the political feelings but also rent to pay. Or maybe you just prefer your solidarity with air-conditioning and a drink in hand. All valid.
RIOT! brings together Dr Fagnificent, Eriana Conda, Fukkitah, House Of Haute Mess and Kak Nina Boo, hosted by Becca D’Bus, for a night of drag that’s part performance, part commentary, part collective exhale. But that’s only the first course. Afterwards, things roll straight into THE LOVE ALL SERVE ALL PARTY by everyone’s favourite queer party series Baby Boy, which is basically the unofficial afterparty for Pink Dot Day that picks up the thread from Hong Lim Park and carries it into the night.

Pink Dot
The landmark event that helped to change the local queer landscape turns 18 this June and, instead of doing what it’s always done, it’s switching things up. Pink Dot’s 2026 edition arrives with a new campaign—Come get personal—and a format that turns Hong Lim Park into something closer to a walk-through of queer life in Singapore than a single-stage rally.
The reimagined version this year will be presented as a series of themed “villages”, each one spotlighting a different slice of LGBTQ+ life here: relationships, identity, school, work, chosen family, and all the small, ordinary negotiations in between.
The shift feels intentional. In a post-377A world, Pink Dot is leaning away from one big collective message and into something more fragmented—and arguably more honest—where personal stories do the talking instead of speeches doing all the heavy lifting. Of course, the staples are still there: the picnic lawn, the soapbox, and the light-up. But everything around them has been slowed down, restructured, and handed over to the community groups who, this year, are very clearly not just participating but leading.
