Held twice on Saturdays, Pooh’s Grand Friendship Party is a lively celebration commemorating 100 years of Winnie the Pooh, and marks the first inflatable march of its kind in Southeast Asia.  Featuring super-sized inflatables of Winnie the Pooh and friends up to seven metres tall, the march comes alive with performers, music and dance as it makes its way around Supertree Grove.  Visitors can also look forward to song-and-dance segments and plenty of photo opportunities with the larger-than-life inflatables. 

(Singapore, 30 May 2026) Gardens by the Bay’s signature school holiday program Children’s Festival returns this June with a grand celebration marking 100 years of Disney’s Winnie the Pooh. Children’s Festival will feature Singapore’s first zipline themed after Disney’s Winnie the Pooh and, for the first time in Southeast Asia, a musical march with supersized inflatables of the characters towering up to seven metres tall, titled Pooh’s Grand Friendship Party.

Inspired by the Hundred Acre Wood, the free festival transforms Supertree Grove into a playful world of immersive installations and outdoor adventures inspired by Pooh and friends. The festival was officially launched by Mr Alvin Tan, Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry & Ministry of National Development, and will run until June 21. 

The Hundred Acre Glide, inspired by the Hundred Acre Wood, is Singapore’s first zipline themed around Disney’s Winnie the Pooh. Featuring a whimsical treehouse-style setting, children can soar 16 metres across the festival grounds against the backdrop of the Supertrees, as they embark on a playful outdoor adventure inspired by the world of Pooh and friends. 

Felix Loh, CEO, Gardens by the Bay said, "To celebrate, we have lined up an exciting June school holidays program for families. The Children’s Festival is back with free admission, alongside free entry for children to the Blue Beauties floral display in Flower Dome and exclusive dining perks across the Gardens. We are also honoured to collaborate with Disney to mark the 100th anniversary of Winnie the Pooh — a character who has warmed hearts across generations. Visitors can look forward to the return of Disney Garden of Wonder on 8 June, featuring enchanting topiaries inspired by beloved Disney and Pixar characters. As a People's Garden, we look forward to welcoming families to bond, reconnect and create cherished memories together this holiday season." 

Guo Teyi, Director, Leisure Events, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “This centennial celebration of one of the world's most beloved storybook characters is a remarkable milestone, and we're delighted to celebrate it right here at Gardens by the Bay. This Children's Festival speaks to Singapore's appeal as a premier destination for families seeking truly one-of-a-kind experiences, and we hope it gives families a great reason to visit this June.”
