Live Entertainment at Palawan Green

Glow Festival 2026 by Prudential runs through July 19 at Palawan Green on Sentosa, combining fitness sessions with live entertainment. The multi-day programme supplies repeated opportunities for performers to test material in front of varied crowds during the July 10-19 window.

Performance Run at Sands Theatre

Slava's Snowshow continues its family-friendly indoor snow performance from July 15 to 26 at Sands Theatre inside Marina Bay Sands. The extended dates give audiences multiple chances to see the production and note how its staging elements connect with local viewers.
