Art Box For Food, Wine and Fun at Bayfront June 1st-3rd

We went to Artbox last year. We liked it so much we went two days running. But the second day it was busier, more crowded, with some things sold out.

Apparently the event started elsewhere in Asia, in Thailand, which explains the large number of Thai food stalls. It has been on at two weekends this year, the end of May and start June. My family are enjoy the wine tasting events. An email from Cellaraid alerted us to the event. Other people are into funky hairslides, clothes, bags and souvenirs. Just a jolly day out.

The nearby MRT train station is Bayfront. I have been to the station many times without really thinking about the name. However, it's really handy. That station is on the bay front, fabulous view of skyscrapers such as the landmark Marina Bay Sands, like a giant cricket stump of triple towers.

To get to another MRT station, Raffles, names after Singapore's founder, you might decide to call Grab which offers taxis and private cars, if that's what need. If you are laden with purchases, you might not want to walk all the way to Raffles Place. However, we did, and found two other events to watch beside the waterfront.

Artbox free riverside stalls

Art Box is very popular amd very crowded although it is largely food and drink specialities from all over Asia but as far away as so called mead in three flavours from London England.
I tried curry biscuits, Japanese seaweed, durian cake, wine from France and the USA from Cellaraid
. Several stalls sold silver jewellery as wee as wooden novelties and birthday cards.
When it gets too hot and crowded you can it by the river and watch the parade of people, cyclists and pretty dogs.

Artbox is on over Easter and next weekend. My favourite stall and the best price was caricatures from 6 Singapore dollars for the smallest size.
MRT Bayfront nearby. Just cross the road and a car park and you are there. If it's too crowded, take a few steps out to the riverside.
