This year, as Singapore celebrates SG60, we honour six shining decades of resilience, growth, and unity. Just like a diamond forged under pressure, our nation has emerged strong, diverse, and radiant.

Our festival theme “Shine Bright Like a Diamond” invites audiences to celebrate Singapore’s sparkling spirit through the power of storytelling. With 22 dazzling sessions held online and at libraries island-wide, we encourage everyone – young and old – to let their imagination shine and their joy sparkle.
