2. Harry Potter: Visions of Magic

Perhaps you’re not a Demon Slayer, but a wizard. The Harry Potter: Visions of Magic interactive art experience has been open in Singapore since late 2024 and remains a popular attraction. If you’re like me and haven’t had the chance to visit, now could be the time to do so.

Not only do you get to step into iconic locations in the Wizarding World like the Room of Requirement and The Chamber of Secrets, but you will also be given a wand to interact with the magical installations.

Switching back to the Japanese channel, the biggest annual anime event in Singapore is expected to make a return in 2026. Anime Festival Asia (AFA) usually takes place in Singapore in late November.

From exhibitions to concerts to meet & greets, AFA is usually a 3-day convention packed with activities for all anime fans. If you’re looking forward to it, make sure to follow AFA’s official social media accounts to stay updated.

8. Singapore Comic Con

If you’re someone who loves pop culture that spans Western and Asian media, the Singapore Comic Con (SGCC) would be right up your alley. Think ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Avengers’, but also ‘Masked Rider’, ‘Ultraman’ and ‘Pokémon’. You get the drift.

SGCC is a celebration of comics, movies, games and toys, bringing together activities and products that many fandoms will enjoy. There are also cosplay competitions, collectables and e-sports matches for you to look out for.

The previous SGCC took place just a couple of months ago in Dec, so we can assume that it will return at around the same time this year. Stay tuned on their online channels for updates.
