Events Description
The Dragon Boat Festival (端午節) is a traditional Chinese holiday that falls on June 19 this year. It is marked by dragon boat races and zongzi (粽子), glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves with sweet or savory fillings.
Register for a special cooking workshop with Chinese-Singaporean chef Christopher Leow and explore the traditions behind zongzi. In this hands-on experience, participants will prepare both Teochew and Nyonya-style zongzi (also known as bak zhang in Hokkien), discover the symbolism behind the ingredients, and learn the precise techniques for hand-wrapping and tying their own zongzi.
Continue the festivities with our drop-in craft activity, where you can create a sporty felt zongzi magnet or pin celebrating our new exhibition, Momentum: Power and Identity in Sports.
