ARTBOX returns to Expo this January for a 2024 edition that’s even bigger than the last! Say hello to ARTBOX AVENUE, spanning 105,000 sqft of space and will be taking place over 2 consecutive weekends: 26th to 28th January and 2nd to 4th February 2024. We got a sneak peek at the mega indoor night festival and here’s everything you should know before heading down!
Over 100 F&B vendors: viral eats, Thai street & more
There will be plenty of trendy eats at the festival, from stalls and also food trucks! There’s even an entire section dedicated to popular Thai eats like grilled seafood, mango sticky rice, pad thai, skewers and more!
Sourdough Donuts, from $6.90
Assorted Shapes Waffles, $6/box
Sushi Taco, $8

You’ll be spoilt for choice for street snacks like the viral tanghulu, mochi croffles, mala in a cup, hotpot cups, butter beer, hand punched lemon tea, wagyu dons, cheese coin, ice cream taiyaki, sushi tacos, rainbow jelly sticks, sourdough donuts, nitrogen ice cream…the options are nearly endless!
Mango Sticky Rice Ice Cream, $10
Chilli Crab Pasta in Shaker Bottle, $18
Some unique eats we enjoyed also include the Mango Sticky Rice ($10) that’s not like the original, but in ice cream form! You can also get the Chilli Crab Pasta ($16) in a “cocktail” shaker bottle that you’re supposed to shake up before eating. There’s even the viral chocolate bars from Mr Beast!
Over 140 retail shops: K-shopping, Thai labels & local crafts
Aside from local vendors, this year’s ARTBOX AVENUE welcomes a slew of international vendors from Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea!
