Singapore's Ramadan bazaars return in 2026 with Geylang Serai as the anchor— hundreds of food and festive stalls running through the fasting month to Hari Raya eve, joined by neighbourhood bazaars across the heartlands. Here's where to go, what to eat and when.
Evenings before iftar get packed — arrive an hour early or after tarawih for lighter crowds. Check prayer times so you break fast on time, browse current eventsfor confirmed bazaar dates, and if you're hosting, order early from halal caterers — Raya-week slots sell out.
Geylang Serai hosts Singapore's largest and most famous Ramadan bazaar, around Wisma Geylang Serai and the surrounding streets. Neighbourhood bazaars also pop up in Tampines, Woodlands, Jurong and other heartland town centres.
Bazaars typically run through Ramadan up to the eve of Hari Raya — for 2026 that means roughly mid-February to mid-March, subject to the official MUIS moon sighting. Exact opening dates are announced closer to the season.
Most vendors at Muslim-organised bazaars like Geylang Serai cater to the fasting crowd, but individual stalls vary in certification — MUIS-certified, Muslim-owned or self-declared. When it matters to you, ask the stall or check for certification.
Classics: Ramly burgers, ayam percik, kebabs, dendeng, vadai, putu piring, kueh, and drinks like katira and air kathira — plus each year's viral snacks. Go hungry, break fast on time (check prayer times), and bring cash for smaller stalls.
