Dedicated to engaging LGBTQ people, allies and inclusive businesses through a program of arts, culture and lifestyle events, the Pink Fest is a commercial festival that has been celebrating Global Pride Month in Singapore since 2018. Armed with a vision to inspire, entertain and inform festival goers by creating a safe, supportive and inclusive ecosystem that benefits all citizens and residents of Singapore, the Pink Fest is composed of two parts – its signature events and activities organised by its network of Official Festival Partners.
This year, LGBTQ people, allies and businesses can look forward to three main events though the festival is expected to run over 60 unique activities throughout the month of June.
Pasar Pink Popup
Spruce up your home and wardrobe with the newest pride swag, the Pasar Pink Popup is regarded an inclusive marketplace where everyone is welcome, celebrated and equal. Despite shifting the revered pop-up from The Cathay to an online platform, the online marketplace is expected to showcase a diverse range of casual outfits, unique accessories, and work-from-home essentials which include an $88 USB Colourful Humidifier by Sephora! Set to air via Facebook Live, the Pasar Pink Popup will take place over three consecutive Saturdays from 5-26 June 2021 and encompass a variety of themes from ‘Proud Pet Parade’ to ‘Queer’s Got Talent’!

Curated with the help of experts from an array companies across various industries in Singapore, the Inclusive Careers Lab targets issues of job loss, reduced hours and other career obstacles for LGBTQ, women, people with disabilities, racial minorities and individuals from other underrepresented groups in Singapore and across Asia.
