FAQ

Good to know

When do 2027 tickets go on sale?

As soon as we've secured the 2027 venue. Waitlist families hear first and get early-bird access before tickets open to everyone.

What ages is it for?

Kids aged 1 to 10. There are floor activities for babies and plenty to keep big kids busy.

Do we need to be Indian or Hindu to come?

Not at all. Deepavali is celebrated across Singapore, and every family is welcome to share in it.

Do parents come too?

Yes, this isn't a drop-off. Adults need their own ticket, and last year adult tickets cost much less than children's.

What should my child wear?

Your festive best: there's a best dressed competition! Things can get colourful, so maybe not the most precious outfit.

Is there food?

Yes! A free-flow healthy snack and drinks counter is included for all kids. A chaat counter and non-spicy Indian and Western bentos are also available to buy directly from the food vendor at the event. We keep prices affordable, around S$10–15 per person.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

All sales are final and non-refundable. As a small community event, we pay for the venue, craft supplies and food upfront, so tickets can't be cancelled or refunded once booked.

Is it suitable for toddlers and preschoolers?

Yes. We plan Deepavali activities for toddlers and preschoolers too, like flower-petal rangoli on floor boards for under-2s, simple crafts and lots of music and dancing. Babies under 1 are very welcome.

What should kids wear for Deepavali?

Any festive Deepavali kids outfit works: a kurta, lehenga, salwar or a bright party dress. There's a best dressed fashion show, so go all out if your little one loves to dress up!

When is Diwali Playdate 2027?

We hold it in the weeks around Deepavali in Singapore. The exact 2027 date and venue will be announced once confirmed, and waitlist families hear first.

Does joining the waitlist commit me to anything?

Not at all. It just means you'll be first to know the date, venue and ticket details.
