National Workout Day

So you couldn't get tickets to the National Day Parade. No matter. Get into the action at the Sports Hub National Day Fiesta instead. If you're fit enough, try your hand at Parkour, RED-X Games, ELXR Arena Container Gym, and e-sports activities. At 2pm, there is WORKOUT LAH!, a mass dance workout choreographed with a uniquely Singaporean twist that includes Piloxing, Zumba and CardioBlast. From 5pm to 9pm, bring out the picnic mats and popcorn to watch the live telecast of the Parade.

If you don't want to sweat it out, there are free guided tours around the Sports Hub, a local curators' bazaar, music performances by local talents, bouncy castles and ethnic craft workshops such as tile and batik painting. The little ones can keep busy with flag-making activities, badge-making workshops, and storytelling sessions at the Singapore Sports Museum and Sports Hub Library.

Sports Hub National Day Fiesta is on Aug 9, from 12 to 9pm at OCBC Square, Singapore Sports Hub.
