Singapore’s youth-led sustainability festival, Earthopia Fest, is back for a second edition from May 29 to 31, 2026, at Fort Canning Green. Organised by City Sprouts, the three-day event brings together more than 100 partners across sustainability, wellness, food, fashion and the arts to show that eco-conscious living doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Through workshops, installations, a marketplace and live performances, the festival aims to make sustainable choices tangible, accessible and even fun.
What to Expect: Everyday Sustainability in Action
Rather than dwelling on abstract environmental threats, Earthopia Fest focuses on practical, entry-level actions. Attendees can dive into hands-on sessions covering plastic upcycling, sustainable fashion, urban farming, low-waste living and food sustainability. Conversations will also tackle climate anxiety and environmental resilience—topics that resonate with a generation increasingly aware of the mental toll of the climate crisis.
Interactive experiences include the Wasteless Utopia discovery zone, guided tours and storytelling-led activities designed to introduce sustainability through engaging, non-preachy formats.
Key Zones: From Science Fairs to Circular Fashion
One standout feature is the Earthling Exchange, which merges a science fair and volunteer fair. It showcases green innovations, social impact initiatives and opportunities for deeper community involvement beyond the festival weekend.
For fashion lovers, Circular Styles rethinks shopping through a conscious lens. This thrift-focused zone highlights secondhand apparel and circular consumption, encouraging visitors to see pre-loved clothes as a style statement rather than a compromise.
Marketplace and Wellness: Conscious Consumption Meets Self-Care
The festival marketplace, curated by Sunday Social and City Sprouts’ Farmers Collective, offers a curated selection of conscious lifestyle brands across beauty, fashion, homeware and food. An F&B section allows for leisurely browsing between activities, with options designed to minimise waste.
Wellness takes centre stage with sessions ranging from gentle and yin yoga to sound bowl healing and nature-inspired movement. It’s a reminder that sustainability isn’t just about what we buy—it’s also about how we care for ourselves and our environment.
Art From Waste: Immersive Installations With a Message
This year’s festival leans heavily into art. Expect large-scale installations made from repurposed materials: jellyfish forms crafted from plastic waste, imagined animal fossils assembled from e-waste, upcycled bird sculptures from discarded milk bottles, and a striking Earth installation composed of colourful fabric scraps. These works turn trash into thought-provoking visuals that underscore the potential of creative reuse.
Live Music and Community Programming
The weekend closes on a high note with live performances by local acts including Sobs, Heema Izzati, Club Mild, Shye and The Jukuleles on May 30. Community programming, school performances and film screenings—including The Wild Robot—round out the schedule, ensuring there’s something for all ages.
Why It Matters
Earthopia Fest demonstrates that sustainability isn’t a distant ideal—it’s a series of small, repeatable actions. By centering youth voices and hands-on learning, the festival offers a replicable model for community-driven environmental engagement. For Singaporeans looking to move beyond guilt and into action, this event provides a roadmap.
