Saturday (9 & 23 May): 8:30am - 11:00am

Joo Chiat connects the Geylang Serai's Malay hub to the north and Eurasian & Peranakan enclaves to the southern Katong precinct.

Being a confluence of myriad cultures, its shophouses are as colourful as the cuisines, trades and stories that ply the neighbourhood. This former coconut plantation named after Mr Chew Joo Chiat, holds a wide array of unique architecture, back alley murals and community institutions.

Come join us to explore the hidden stories of the back lanes of this vibrant neighbourhood.
