Pesta Ubin and Ubin Day 2022

Pesta Ubin and Ubin Day are here again! 

Pesta Ubin is a festival for all who love Pulau Ubin to share with the public their favourite cultural and environmental aspects of the island. Its activities are heartfelt, organic and community-led. Most activities are free-of-charge and are planned in strict adherence to the prevailing Covid-19 guidelines to ensure safety for Ubin villagers and participants. Ubin Day is the last hoorah of the festival, with all the fun and excitement at its peak.

Pesta Ubin is made possible by the passionate members from the Friends of Ubin Network (FUN) and with support from the National Parks Board (NParks).
