Why Do We Celebrate Racial Harmony Day in Singapore?
Racial Harmony Day commemorates Singapore's commitment to building a harmonious, multicultural nation where people of different races and religions live, work, and celebrate together.
Schools across Singapore often organise activities such as wearing traditional costumes, learning about different cultures, tasting local foods, and playing heritage games. Beyond the classroom, it's also an opportunity for families, workplaces, and communities to appreciate the traditions, stories, and everyday experiences that connect us all.
Food, culture, and shared memories continue to play an important role in strengthening these bonds.
