One of the most exciting events in Singapore is the ZoukOut Dance Music Festival that’s held in the month of December. The festival is a spinoff from the popular Zouk night club in Singapore which has been consistently voted as one of the best clubs in the world. Sentosa Island is turned into a fabulous beach party and has become one of the coolest events of the year. Attended by clubbers and partiers, the festivities go on from sundown to sun up.
In addition to the numerous dance locations, each having its own dj and distinct type of music, there are also many other festivities. Siloso Beach on Santosa Island is ground zero for the event. Even though this is mainly a dance party, the island winds up being invaded by all kinds of fringe events. There’s always something to do if you get tired of the music. A favorite is the holistic tent where massage and special treatments are available. Or, you can find food vendors, flea markets or even mandala art. There are areas to hang out and rest or to just visit with friends.
Because of the international recognition this event receives, tickets for the party are often sold out. The festival draws trendy clubbers from all over the world. Political, cultural and social differences disappear as the partiers enjoy endless music and great company for hours. At a recent festival over 15,000 tickets were sold, with a fair portion being sold to overseas fans. With the draw of international dj’s, local talent, and music from all genres it’s not surprising that this festival has become world famous. The city of Singapore has a pulsating music scene which solidifies its’ reputation as the entertainment capital of Asia.
As the sun comes up and the festival comes to an end, transportation back to the mainland can be difficult. Traffic is a mess and the roads are jammed. The best alternative is to reserve a room in one of the five star hotels in Singapore. You can find one on Sentosa Island and will be able to walk to and from the party.
