Nothing To Do In Tiny S’pore? This Bank Is Making It Its Mission To Bring More Life Here
Singapore is a lot of great things: a safe country, a technologically advanced nation, a country with THE best food in the world—to us Singaporeans, at least. But a place with plenty of fun, exciting things going on all the time, well… That’s debatable.
A Livelier Local Scene
That being said, things here have come a LONG way over the last couple of years.
One of the key parties to thank for breathing this fresh life into the local scene is—you won’t guess it—DBS bank.
The bank has made it its mission to bring new, unique and exciting experiences to our little red dot, and specifically to the Marina Bay area.

Artist’s impression of DBS Marina Regatta[/caption]
The DBS Marina Regatta will be returning this year from 1-4 June. Last year, they brought into Singapore South-east Asia’s tallest inflatable water slide—a massive structure that stood at over five storeys tall!
Think that can’t be topped? This year’s highlights are even more amazing!
Dubbed “Singapore’s Biggest Bayfest”, the sixth edition of DBS Marina Regatta will see The Bay receiving a tremendous makeover, transforming into Singapore’s only urban beach.
Come June this year, Bali’s famed Potato Head beach club will bring their beloved Coconut Bar to Singapore for the first time, and with it, their signature coconut cocktails and beers so you can beat the Singapore heat! You can even lounge on hammocks with an icy cold bottle of booze in hand!
To cool off even more, you can challenge yourself—and your friends!—to an epic inflatable water obstacle course! Featuring 9 obstacles of varying difficulties, see if you have what it takes to get from point A to point B.
It looks to be a splashing good time at the DBS Marina Regatta this year, and guess what? This is only the tip of the iceberg!

Watch this space as we will be updating this story as more information comes in!

Home Is Where The Fun Is
Indeed, Singapore has come such a huge way in such a short time, and we’re definitely not complaining!
From importing overseas concepts like Artbox so we can enjoy them right in our backyards to creating platforms enterprising Singaporeans can use to showcase their wares, DBS has brought a tremendous breath of life into our country.
We can only hope many others will follow suit, bringing so much more fun and life to our home!
