Returning for its second year, the mega 3-in-1 Festival of Fun will feature three pillars of fun - the Magners International Comedy Festival, Nickelodeon Fiesta and Clarke Quay StreetFest this March. The festival welcomes acts from UK’s Covent Garden street theatre, well-loved characters from Nickelodeon and award-winning comedians from around the world.
Audiences can look forward to taking part in the festivities and at the same time dine at the numerous food and beverage establishments within Clarke Quay. StreetFest and Nickelodeon Fiesta will take place at the Fountain Square whilst the comedy acts can be enjoyed at Beer Xchange, McGettigan’s, Crazy Elephant, Get Juiced, F-Club and Shanghai Dolly.
Adrian Lai, Centre Manager, Clarke Quay, said: “A wide range of restaurants will add to the buzz with thematic and delectable offerings that are sure to delight visitors of all ages.”

Clarke Quay consists of five waterfront godowns under a climate controlled canopy illuminated by coloured lighting. The area plays host to a wide array of over 60 restaurants, bars, and entertainment outlets, attracting about 1 million visitors every month.
