DBS Marina Regatta - Singapore

Yesterday I was near Marina Bay Sands to have a look at what was happening at the DBS Marina Regatta. DBS Marina Regatta is an event organized by the DBS Bank. This is happening on the Promontory near Marina Bay Sands. They have many events happening including a wipeout zone, food stalls, and urban beach and other things.



It was a breezy evening yesterday. I reached the promontory around 7:30 PM. The participants of the kayaking activities which should have been held earlier that day where stretching their legs and frolicking under empty stalls. The entrance of the DBS Marina Regatta had a beachy look. As soon as I entered the first thing I noticed was the big wipeout zone setup which was on the left. 


There was some people participating, and many were standing around this zone watching the event. The lighting was very good, but I got bored soon and moved over to the food stalls. They had about 6 - 7 food stalls. I started exploring what they were serving. There was an ice cream stall, a hot dog stall, arabian food, sausage stall, and a Michelin star listed stall. Food prices where not more than 15 dollars, but not less than 7 dollars. My wife and I enjoyed the delicious food. The stalls were wonderfully decorated. The place was lit up like a carnival.



After having a good dinner of hot dogs, sausages, and ice cream, I moved on to see what was happening on the other events. There was a beach setup which looked fantastic. There was some alcoholic drinks being served at the beach counter. 


The view from this fake beach was good. Since the night was breeze I noticed a lot of people enjoying with friends sitting on the hammock. 






There was also a sound proofed party dome with loud music playing on the inside. I did not bother going inside. 


DBS Marina Regatta on June 2nd was not crowded, may be because it was a Friday evening and people had not yet got into the weekend mode. My wife and I we enjoyed the pleasantness of the evening, and the delicious food served at the counters lifted our spirits.
