Nickelodeon Fiesta
11, 12 March 2017
Kicking off Singapore Festival of Fun is the Southeast Asia debut of a Nickelodeon Fiesta weekend. Inspired by Clarke Quay’s rich Singapore history, the free-entry event will see Clarke Quay transform into a carnival-like playground. The carnival will feature reimagined local childhood games with a Nickelodeon twist and limited edition Nickelodeon collectibles to be won.
Clarke Quay StreetFest
14 to 19 March 2017
The first Clarke Quay StreetFest will feature one of the world’s most famous clowns - Pepe the Clown. On 15 March 2017 he will be joined by world champion unicyclist Jamey Mossengren, who will perform death-defying tricks while involving the audience such as leaping over a volunteer on his 12-ft high unicycle - the world’s tallest unicycle act - whilst juggling a sword, a club and a torch.
Don’t miss the chance to watch The Kamikaze Fireflies, comprising Rob Williams and Casey Martin, who received a standing ovation when they performed on America’s Got Talent. The Kamikaze Fireflies combines circus and comedy in a 40-minute show involving juggling, whip-cracking, a German wheel (gymnastics wheel) and more.
The fun at Clarke Quay StreetFest continues with Bruce Airhead – a street theatre comedy show featuring the metamorphosis of a man and a 6 ft balloon. Ryan Shadow, street magician and illusionist, will also be there. Then there's Rob Roy Collins – Europe’s top street performer and Guinness World Record holder for the fastest upside-down escape from a wet straitjacket while being suspended 20m high from a crane overlooking Niagara Falls. Watch him escape from chains, ropes and handcuffs at the main stage in Clarke Quay’s Fountain Square.
