About this Event

What to Expect

Come meet the early birds of Queenstown! Speak to hawkers busy heating ovens, mixing batter, braising duck, and cleaning their stalls before their first customers at 5am. Then take a walk over to see how the daily paper ends up on our doorsteps, as newspaper distributors meticulously arrange them before setting off on their routes - there's a lot that happens before dawn!


About After Hours

While you’re tucked into bed at night, many yet start their day, ready to face the graveyard shift. Come on an unforgettable journey with us and witness how the neighbourhood continues to hustle and bustle after dark, as hawkers and workers alike prepare for a long day under the cover of darkness.Singapore might seem to be a city that ticks on efficiently, but it all depends on a workforce that toils tirelessly throughout the night to ensure that our island keeps working throughout the day.Come meet these dedicated and hardworking individuals, and watch them go about their routines - their dedication may just inspire you!
