Grand Prix Season Singapore 2023: Circuit of Festivity
This year’s theme, Circuit of Festivity, encourages any grand prix goers in Singapore to do a full circuit of each main location and the plethora of experiences they have to offer.
The events will take place in four locations, including Orchard Road, an area filled with shops and restaurants; Clarke Quay, a historical riverside quay; the vibrant neighbourhood of Kampong Gelam; and island resort Sentosa.

At Orchard Road, the headlining event will be the Revolutions: The GPSS Immersive Experience, a light and sound show portraying the story of GPSS. Running alongside this, the Orchard Pit Shops: GPSS Lifestyle Bazaar captivate shoppers with an extensive selection of more than 24 stalls. These stalls will showcase a variety of local artisanal goods, culinary delights, musical elements, and artistic installations.
