A beautiful day

I'm glad we made it to the Kite Festival today!  The weather was perfect, with clear blue skies and a nice cool breeze.  The street entertainers captivated the crowd when their necks are strained from all that looking up, and every kid had a smile on their face.

There's one last day tomorrow (Sunday) to end the weekend on a perfect note, so here are some tips from us!

Parking

Most people will be choosing to park at the open-air Wilson carpark along Bayfront Avenue.  It's the most obvious carpark around The Promontory and the rates at MBS are infamously expensive.  When we were there, there was a long line of vehicles waiting for their turn to enter the very full carpark, so here's the alternative - take Marina Station Road/Marina Way instead and park at the Marina Bay Financial Centre carpark.  Only $3.21 for the first 4 hours on Sat/Sun and there's plenty of spaces!  The Promontory is one traffic light away.

Goodie bag

The goodie bag is whilst stocks last so do reach the venue before 6pm if you want to get your hands on very thoughtful freebies - kite, foam glider, water, fan and tissue paper.  The goodie bags were gone by 6.30pm today!

Food

If you're intending to spend quite some time there, do prepare food!  We did not see any food stalls in the area so it'll be tough on your kids (and parents) should they feel like eating something.  Heck, you can even plan for a nice picnic at the venue.  There's plenty of space!

Have fun!
