Gardens by the Bay hosts sustainability programme from 22 October

Gardens by the Bay hosts Race to Sustainability! 2026 in Singapore from 22 October to 29 November 2026, with activities spread across its waterfront grounds. The tenth edition combines an art exhibition, talks and a public sustainability fair at the horticultural attraction.

Race to Sustainability brings public activities to Singapore gardens

The operator describes the programme as a series about climate change, environmental care and practical sustainability. The dates run from Thursday 22 October to Sunday 29 November 2026, with different activities at various locations.

The programme opens with an exhibition by the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. It presents five original zines, interpretive posters and a short film in the foyer beside the Canopy ticketing counter. The exhibition is scheduled to run throughout the programme period.

On 22 October, Explorers in Conversation: Journeys Off the Beaten Track takes place in Flower Field Hall. National Geographic Explorers Woo Qiyun, Louise Mabulo, Max Han and Melati Wijsen are listed for the conversation, which is open to all although youth aged 18 to 35 are the recommended audience. Programme dates and venues are published by the operator.

The 2012 garden connects sustainability with visitor spaces

The programme is located within Bay South and the wider waterfront complex, rather than in a separate conference venue. That places its environmental theme beside the conservatories, planted landscapes and Supertrees that define the visitor experience.

Bay South is the largest of three distinctive waterfront gardens and opened in 2012. The wider site is managed by an independent organisation, while the complex includes Bay South, Bay East and Bay Central. Singapore garden background records the three-garden plan and the 2012 opening.

The link between the programme and the site is especially direct on 24 and 25 October. The Weekend Sustainability Fair uses the Canopy, Ficus Room, Waterfront Plaza and Active Garden, allowing the public programme to occupy both indoor and outdoor parts of the complex. The fair is supported by Singapore public agencies and sustainability partners, including the National Environment Agency and World Wide Fund for Nature.

The operator lists 18 Supertrees across the complex, with 12 in Supertree Grove. Their trunks carry planting panels for bromeliads, orchids, ferns and flowering climbers, making the site itself part of the programme context. The national programme listing also places the 22 October event at Gardens by the Bay and identifies the public fair on 24 and 25 October.
