DBS Marina Regatta 2015 - Ignite the Bay!
[Media Invite]
Singapore's biggest water sports festival, the DBS Marina Regatta returns for its fourth consecutive year to Ignite the Bay! Held in conjunction with the 28th SEA Games, this year's DBS Marina Regatta takes place over three weekends, from 30th May to 14 June. Set against the iconic skyline of Marina Bay, witness top dragon boating and sailing teams battle it out to be the country's and the region's best.
Apart from exhilarating sporting action in the water, be sure to check out the exciting activities - these include cosplay, cheerleading, dance competitions, extreme sports, a dedicated kids zone, a fantastic food village, stand-up paddling, stand-up yoga, cycling by the bay and more!
For the first time, free urban farming workshops will be held for those interested in learning how to farm sustainably in their homes and in the final weekend, the Promontory will be transformed into Singapore's first urban beach with pop-up cafés!
Here are some of the event highlights:
Extreme sports arena
Come take a walk on the wild side with us at the extreme sports arena! Activities such as flying fox, freefall jumps and rock climbing will be available to the public.
Kids zone
This year’s DBS Marina Regatta has even more in store for kids! From activities such as Laser Tag to a bouncy castle, there’s something for everyone. Other highlights include arcade games, Xbox Kinect, an F1 car simulator, face painting, balloon sculpting, art & craft, a giant Jenga station, and gladiator jousting.
DBS Food village by Savour
An array of regional dishes and delicacies will tantalise taste buds as we bring in culinary favourites from across the region. Chefs featured include Chef Emmanuel Stroobant, co-owner of Brussel Sprouts, and Chef David Ang of Bistro 1855 who has prepared meals for international celebrities such as Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Douglas and Roman Abramovich.
Urban farming workshops
Free Urban Farming Workshops will be held for those interested in learning how to farm sustainably in their homes and office spaces. From the basics of organic growing to cultivating natural healing remedies, these workshops conducted by social enterprises Edible Garden City and ComCrop cover a wide variety of content that will be extremely useful to every urbanite.
Paddle for good
Event-goers are challenged to form teams with and paddle alongside persons with disabilities (PwDs), such as the members from the Deaf Dragons team. “Paddle for Good” simulates a dragon boat race, but on land with the use of indoor ergometer machines instead of boats. For every 1 kilometre paddled, DBS will donate SGD 100 to organisations that are committed to creating and running sports activities for PwDs.
DBS Art Park
The DBS Art Park will showcase eight up and coming artists from NOISE who will be expressing their creativity through visual arts on four giant art cubes. AsNo Doink, two time Singapore Graffiti champion, will lead another group of four artists, under Skratch Army, on the development of the fifth cube. As part of DBS’ partnership with the National Gallery Singapore, there will also be a Living Art segment at the DBS Marina Regatta. Living Art is a re-enactment of a selected painting that will be on display at the National Gallery Singapore. At the Regatta, actors will bring to life renowned artist Liu Kang’s painting “Life by the River”.
