SIA F1 Light Up The Night Carnival | Fun Day Of Activities For Families

SIA F1 Light Up The Night Carnival 

Today welovedayout had a fantastic fun day at the SIA F1 Light Up The Night Carnival. This is the FIRST public event held by Singapore Airlines in gearing up for the Singapore Grand Prix night race which will be held on 19-21 September 2014. 

The Carnival, which was held at Singapore’s F1 Pit Building on Marina Promenade started between 2pm and 10pm on 16th August 2014. This event was part of a series of fun and exciting family activities specially organised by Singapore Airlines leading up to this year's F1 night race. 

It was a beautiful, sunny day to spend time as a family in a carnival. As we were walking from Promenade Station towards the F1 Pit Building, we saw many F1 supporters of all ages. We entered the building and were greeted by a swarm of people. Cheering and laughter from children and adults could be heard from everywhere.

After watching the display of various sports cars, we continued into the F1 Pit Building where there were more fun activities for our children.

There was also a movie theatre where the organiser broadcasted the 'Cars' film. Our children enjoyed the show with yummy popcorn and candy floss.

The highlight of the event was the cars drifting show. The children were so excited watching the show especially the boys. They were cheering loudly for the stunt drivers as they drove past them. Not forgetting the motorcyclist stunt riders as well. They did such a great performance that the show ended with loud cheers.

Our fun family day out ended with the anticipation of next year's F1 carnival. As we were leaving the Pit Building, we caught a glimpse of our majestic Singapore Flyer. This venue will be in our day out wish list.
