Stepping up our eco-friendly initiatives
Since 2018, Garden Beats has taken its first steps towards becoming the first carbon-neutral music festival in Singapore. This year, we will be extending our initiatives with a complete ban of single use plastics and opting for bio-degradable cups and cutleries. Recycling and food composting stations will also be made available at the festival fields. In addition, we will be introducing the Garden Beats Tin Cups, with which festival-goers will be able to receive a discount when purchasing drinks!
Picnic fields
Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Fort Canning Park our Picnic Fields will be the perfect spot for a picturesque picnic on the hill with your tribe.
For those who do not have the time to prep for their own picnic, head to our Culinary Fields pop-up stalls and enjoy an array of mouthwatering savoury treats from vegan to meat delights such as Don Ho, Dumpling Darlings, Udders, Papi’s Tacos, Fat Prince, Kult Kafe and 25 Degrees.
