This first-of-its-kind tie-up will see unique and fun experiences themed around Disney’s biggest brands and most popular stories and characters in Singapore. As part of the three-year collaboration, locals and visitors to Singapore will be entertained with a range of exciting experiential activities starting with Star Wars, followed by Marvel and Disney Animation/Disney Pixar themes in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Star Wars in 2017, the collaboration will kick off with Star Wars Day: May The 4th Be With You Festival (see details below), a three-day Star Wars festival held at Gardens by the Bay, followed by other exciting Star Wars-themed activations held in the second half of 2017.

The highly-anticipated sequel “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” is slated to open InCinemas 14 December, so rest assured that there will be a range of activities in the lead up to the blockbuster movie. Hopefully, just maybe, our Jedi wishing stars in a galaxy far far away will grant us a star tour here in our sunny island! We’re crossing our fingers (and toes!) for this to happen.

Lionel Yeo, Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Disney to create a range of exciting activations, adding vibrancy to our existing events calendar and attracting visitors from the Southeast Asia region and beyond.”
