Over the past century, Raffles Place has seen several waves of transformation, reflecting our island’s own journey of growth and renewal. From the first commercial hub, Commercial Square, where international traders used to gather, our precinct has turned into a vibrant bustling community within Singapore’s Central Buzz District. 

Placemaking is a collaborative process that involves the community in shaping the public realm into a meaningful and engaging place where one can live, work and play in. Through Raffles Place Alliance’s placemaking initiatives, the precinct has also turned into a third place for many. 

Feel the love in the heart of the Central Buzz District and celebrate the season with a little Raffles Place romance.

With an array of Lunar New Year decorations in the precinct, a limited-time festive workshop, fitness sessions and dozens of deals to enjoy, an abundance of joy, health and prosperity await you in our Central Buzz District.

With every new year comes a slew of resolutions and a laundry list of ought-tos and to-dos— whether that be to read more books or to drink less coffee, to pick up a new hobby or to expand your social circle—and 2025 is no different.

Oh what fun it is to celebrate Christmas in the Central Buzz District! It’s the buzziest time of year and there’s a ho-ho-host of holiday fun in Raffles Place this December.
