...but that's not all, there's more to this festival! Check it out...

Courage and Compassion. Selflessness and Sacrifice. Ordinary people. Extraordinary spirit. People who have gone before us, whose fortitude and passion inspire and impact us. These are our heroes. We all have heroes - whether they are the medical personnel who go beyond their call of duty to save lives, athletes who go against all odds to put Singapore on the world map, other trailblazers who excel in their respective fields to fly the Singapore flag internationally, or the teacher or parent who has personally touched our lives. Who's your hero?

From 12 – 27 July 2008, come discover and celebrate your heroes with us and the heroes amongst us!

At the Festival Hub@Suntec City, catch the anchor exhibition Who's Your Hero? Bring your little ones to Kids' Zone and the Heroes Patch. If you are in for some adventure, join our treasure hunt, Fun on Foot, the Heritage Marathon! and win attractive prizes! Catch the latest bus adventure trails with Expedition 'H'. Learn about beauty traditions, the art of storytelling, Singapore's artists and other local heroes with our Culture 101 talks. If you are into music, celebrate our music heroes at Sound Stories 1 & 2. For car lovers and racing enthusiasts, catch the Vintage Car Grand Prix and Concours.

There is something for everyone at the Singapore HeritageFest 2008! So come, join us on this inspiring journey as we seek out and celebrate the heroic Singapore Spirit and you may just discover the hero in you.
