Singapore is blessed with various cultures due to those who came into the country to settle from long time ago. Because of this, there are so many festivals celebrated here with much colour and splendour across the country. The year begins with the celebration of the Chinese New Year, where the roads, especially Chinatown, is decorated to glory in red and gold with Chinese lanterns and fairy lights all over the place. In June the Muslim community celebrates Hari Raya Puasa, one of the most important festivals for devotees. There are lovely sweets tor try out during this time served at hotels and restaurants. When the end of the year comes, the Indian community celebrates Deepavali which lights up the roads and shops. You'll be able to get a beautiful henna tattoo and try yummy curries.
