<b>What is Pesta Ubin?</b><br />
Pesta Ubin is Ubin Open House! Pesta Ubin is the highlight of each year of <a href="https://www.nparks.gov.sg/pulau-ubin/activities/calendar-of-activities" target="_blank">'Celebrating Ubin'</a>, which is made possible by the <a href="https://www.nparks.gov.sg/pulau-ubin/the-ubin-project/event-highlights" target="_blank">Friends of Ubin Network (FUN)</a>. FUN brings together those who are committed to working together for Ubin.<br />
<br />
Pronounced ‘Pays-ta’, Pesta is Malay for festival or party. Pesta often describes festivities that bring a community together, such as a wedding; or a cultural celebration. (It is NOT an Italian dish: which is ‘pasta’.)<br />

</tbody></table>For six days and six nights, the birthday of Tua Pek Kong is honoured with colourful festivities. Ubin Jetty is decked out in colourful flags and lanterns, and Ubin Town is host to lavish rituals. The ancient Wayang Stage at Ubin Town comes alive with traditional opera in glittering costumes as well as more modern vibrant celebrations. Pilgrims and worshippers make their way to Ubin to celebrate.<br />

<b>Travel advisory!</b><br />
<br />
The Tua Pek Kong Festival, as usual, coincides with Vesak Day. This year, Vesak Day falls on 29 May (Tue). Many pilgrims for the Tua Pek Kong festival plus the long weekend crowd is expected to result in more visitors to Ubin. So be prepared for travel delays: longer queues for the bumboats. And a parking crunch at Changi Village. Especially 8am onwards for travel from Changi to Ubin; and noon onwards for travel from Ubin to Changi, with peak congestion near sunset.<br />
<br />
Dates: 28 May - 2 Jun<br />
Venue: Ubin Town, 3 min walk from Ubin Jetty (<a href="https://pestaubin2018.blogspot.sg/p/ubin-map.html" target="_blank">map</a>).<br />
