May 2026 Singapore Pet Events — Full Guide

1. Pets & Plants Extravaganza

27 April – 3 May 2026 | 11am – 9pm Guoco Tower Urban Park, Level 1, 5 Wallich Street

Bridging into May, Pets & Plants Extravaganza runs from 27 April through 3 May at Guoco Tower's urban park — one of the rare events that's genuinely nice to wander through on a weekday when crowds thin out. The format is a curated lifestyle market mixing rare plant vendors, pet essentials and independent lifestyle brands, all in a shaded outdoor setting that's generous with space.

All pets are welcome on a leash, in a carrier, or in a stroller.

What to expect: A relaxed browse-at-your-own-pace vibe. No stage programming, no competition format — just good vendors and a reasonable amount of greenery to rest beside.

Practical tips:

• Best visited on a weekday to avoid weekend crowds
• Guoco Tower is connected to Tanjong Pagar MRT (EW line) — easy to access without driving
• Hours run until 9pm, so an early evening visit avoids the peak afternoon heat

2. Family Paw-Ty

1 May 2026 (Labour Day) | CSC @ Changi

A Labour Day pet event at the Civil Service Club in Changi. Details are limited at the time of writing, but with the long weekend and a community-driven format, expect a social afternoon with local pet vendors and activities for both pets and owners.

All pets welcome on a leash, in a carrier, or stroller.

Practical tip: Being a public holiday, some surrounding roads and parking areas may be busier than usual. Check CSC's website closer to the date for the programme schedule.

3. Weekend Pawty

2–3 May 2026 | 1pm – 5pm BYD Teban Gardens

An indoor pet event running across the Labour Day long weekend at BYD's Teban Gardens space. This one is notably well-rounded — it combines a pet fashion competition with expert talks from vets, trainers and pet insurance providers, curated pet booths, photobooth setups and F&B options.

First 50 dogs daily get exclusive goodie bags. Lucky draw prizes are also on offer.

For: All pets on a leash, in a carrier or stroller

Crowd level: Medium

What makes it stand out: The mix of entertainment and education under one roof. Whether you're a new pet owner or a regular at these events, the vet and trainer talks add genuine value beyond shopping.

Practical tip: Being indoors means heat isn't a concern — but do plan for limited parking in the Teban area. Arrive early if you want the goodie bags.

4. Cinco de Mayo Fiesta @ Georges @ The Cove

3 May 2026 (Sunday) | 3pm – 6pm Georges @ The Cove, 133 Pasir Ris Road

Free to enter (registration required), and probably the most relaxed afternoon event of the Labour Day long weekend. Georges @ The Cove is a beachside dining venue in Pasir Ris, and the setup makes full use of the alfresco space — live DJ sets, a live tacos station, marketplace booths with pet and lifestyle vendors, a pet obstacle play area and photo moments by the beach.

There's also a Best Dressed Pet Competition if your dog has opinions about their wardrobe (free to enter as an add-on at registration, limited slots).

For: All pets — leash required, pet-friendly alfresco space Entry: Free — register via Eventbrite, no table booking included (first-come, first-served seating) Crowd level: Medium — arrive early for seating

What makes it stand out: It's genuinely beachside, which is rare for a Singapore pet event. The vibe is festive rather than fair-format, so it suits owners who want food, drinks and music alongside their pets rather than a booth-browsing experience.

Practical tip: Pasir Ris is served by Pasir Ris MRT (EW line). Georges @ The Cove is at the far end of Pasir Ris Drive 1 — a short taxi or bus ride from the MRT. Seating fills up fast; get there by 3pm sharp.

5. Royal Albatross Dog-Friendly Sunset Dinner Cruise

Image credit: EventBrite, Royal Albatross 

Multiple dates through May | 6:00pm onwards Royal Albatross, 8 Sentosa Gateway

A category of its own. The Royal Albatross is Singapore's four-masted luxury tall ship, and this is the only dog-friendly sunset dinner cruise operating in Singapore. You board at Sentosa, sail into golden hour with skyline views, and sit down to a curated multi-course dinner — while your dog gets a three-course gourmet meal prepared by PETCUBES, Singapore's fresh pet food brand.

This is a recurring event with multiple May dates. It's premium, ticketed, and deliberately intimate.

For: Dogs (all sizes welcome on leash; check breed restrictions with organiser) Type: Luxury dining experience at sea — not a mass participation event

Who this is for: Pet owners who want something genuinely different — a date night, a special occasion, or simply an excuse to take their dog somewhere that isn't a weekend fair. The price point reflects the experience.

Practical tips:

• Boarding at Sentosa Gateway — accessible via Sentosa Express from VivoCity
• No refunds; book only when your date is confirmed
• Check the Eventbrite listing for specific May sail dates, as slots are limited per cruise
• Leashes required on deck at all times

6. Paws & Play @ Dairy Farm

Image credit: EventBrite,  Paws & Play

9 May 2026 | 9am – 1pm Dairy Farm Mall, 4 Dairy Farm Lane

A community pet fair rolled into one morning — and one of the most purposeful events on the May calendar. Organised by Dairy Farm Mall in support of Causes for Animals (Singapore), it kicks off with a 2.3km morning dog walk along the park connector at 9am, then transitions into a full programme of activities until 1pm.

The entry pledge is a minimum of $5, which gets you into the event and an exclusive goodie bag — including a $10 UE Malls voucher, treats and pet-friendly items. All proceeds go directly to CAS's rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming programmes.

Full programme:

• 9:00am: Morning Dog Walk (2.3km Park Connector Route)
• 10:30am: Paw Trail Scavenger Hunt
• 11:30am: Best-Dressed Pet Contest
• 10:00am – 1:00pm: Temptation Trail Challenge, Spend & Win Lucky Draw, Paws & Playground Activities

For: Dogs (and their humans)

Crowd level: Low to medium — the park connector setting keeps things spread out

Why it stands out: Dairy Farm is one of the greener, more relaxed corners of Singapore for a morning out with your dog. The park connector route borders Dairy Farm Nature Park, so the walk itself is genuinely pleasant — not just a loop around a carpark. Add the charitable angle and this is probably the best value event of the month.

Practical tips:

• Register in advance on Eventbrite; goodie bags are not guaranteed for walk-ins
• Nearest MRT is Hillview (DT line) — about a 10-minute walk to the mall
• Bring water; the walk starts at 9am but May mornings in Singapore heat up quickly by 9:30
• A hands-free leash is ideal for the walk portion so you can carry a water bottle comfortably

7. Sunday Social Market

9–10 May 2026 | 11am – 7pm 5 Simei Lane (Sing See Soon Simei)

This edition of Sunday Social Market is a notable one — it's the final weekend at the Sing See Soon Simei space, which adds a bit of occasion to what's already a well-organised outdoor lifestyle market. Over 30 curated brands and vendors will be present, alongside live DJ sets, a Mother's Day flower bar, and unique F&B concepts.

It runs across the Mother's Day weekend (Sunday 10 May), which makes it a natural fit if you're planning something low-key with the family.

All pets welcome on a leash, in a carrier or stroller.

Crowd level: Medium — best visited early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.

Note: This is the final chapter for this location. Worth going for that reason alone.

8. The Coast by Spirited Connections

Image credit: Eventbrite, Spirited Connections

9–10 May 2026 | 5pm – 12am Coastal Rhythm, 1206A East Coast Parkway

Something different for a Saturday evening. The Coast is a ticketed Afrohouse and tribal house music event at Coastal Rhythm along East Coast Park, with a BBQ running through the night and an outdoor alfresco setting that's explicitly pet-friendly. Leashed pets are welcome in the exterior areas throughout.

Featuring DJs Halyfax, Tasha and Sirius. First 50 guests get a complimentary drink.

For: Leashed pets welcome in exterior areas Dress code: Bohemian/flowy — linen, crochet, earthy tones Crowd level: Medium — a ticketed event, not a walk-in fair

Who this is for: Pet owners who want an evening out that's genuinely not a pet fair — good music, beach vibes, BBQ food and a dog in tow. It's a niche fit but a real one.

Practical tips:

• East Coast Park is best reached by car or Grab; there's no direct MRT access
• Pets must be leashed at all times and owners are fully responsible — the organisers are clear on this
• Starts at 5pm so the worst of the afternoon heat will have passed; still bring water for your dog

9. Pawpathon 2026

Image credit: HUG Community Services Limited

9 May 2026 | 8am – 11am Mandai Wildlife West

Pawpathon is the standout charity event of the month. Organised by HUG Community, it's a morning dog walk at Mandai Wildlife West that raises funds for youth mentoring, mental wellness and reintegration programmes.

Beyond the walk itself, the event includes live performances, activity stations and programme showcases from the organisations involved.

For: Dogs on a leash or in a carrier

Crowd level: Medium

Why this one matters: It's one of the few May 2026 events with a clear charitable purpose. If you're looking for a way to give back while getting your dog some morning exercise, this is the one to mark.

Practical tip: Start time is 8am — plan for an early departure. Mandai Wildlife West is accessible via Mandai Lake Road; consider ride-hailing given the limited public transport options in that area. Bring water for both you and your dog — it's an outdoor morning walk and Singapore's May humidity is not forgiving, even before 10am.

If you're headed out with your dog, a hands-free leash is worth considering for charity walks — it keeps your hands free for water bottles and your phone while keeping your dog safely close.

10. Clayful Pawtrait Workshop

 Image credit: Clayful Pawtrait Workshop

9 May 2026 | 3:30pm – 5:30pm Cat Connoisseur @ Thomson V One

A small-group clay workshop for cat owners, held the same day as Pawpathon. The format is hands-on: participants create personalised clay pawtrait magnets of their cats, framed as a keepsake to take home.

For: Cats only — on a leash or in a carrier

Crowd level: Low (intimate setting)

Practical tip: Requires registration. Book early as capacity at Cat Connoisseur is limited. Check @petcollectivesg on Instagram for updates or the registration form link.

11. Pets & Food Weekend @ Crane Joo Chiat

 Image credit: Eventbrite, Crane

16–17 May 2026 | 10am – 6pm 432 Joo Chiat Road (Crane Joo Chiat)

A recurring Crane favourite — the Pets & Food Weekend format brings together pet vendors and local food sellers in the same Joo Chiat shophouse setting, over a full weekend. It's low-key and approachable, good for owners who want to browse without the structured programming of a larger fair.

For: All pets — pet-friendly throughout Entry: Free

Practical tip: This falls on the Saturday/Sunday of Singapore's school midterm break week, so expect slightly higher foot traffic than usual in the Joo Chiat area. Morning arrival recommended. Dakota MRT (CC line) is the closest station.

12. Summer Paw Fest

17 May 2026 | 10am – 3pm Northshore Plaza

 Image credit: Northshore Plaza Facebook

One of the bigger outdoor pet fairs of the month, Summer Paw Fest at Northshore Plaza brings together over 45 pet booths alongside competitions, interactive activities and freebies. This is a good one for households with kids — the format is accessible, outdoor and community-oriented.

For: All pets — leash, carrier or stroller

Crowd level: Medium

Practical tip: 10am is the sweet spot for arrival before the crowds build and before the midday heat peaks. Northshore Plaza is in Punggol, served by Punggol MRT (NE line) — easy enough by train if driving feels like too much on a weekend.

13. Tampines GreenVines Pet's Day 2026

 Image credit: Tampines GreenVines Pet's Day 2026 Instagram

17 May 2026 | 1pm – 6pm Tampines GreenVines, 640 Drop-Off Point

An OnePA community event at Tampines GreenVines — a greener, more residential setting compared to the shopping mall events with Minister Baey Yam Keng joining the event. Expect shopping for treats, toys and accessories alongside live stage activities and educational exhibits.

For: All pets — leash, carrier or stroller

Crowd level: Low to medium

Best time to visit: Late afternoon, both for comfort and crowd level

Practical tip: GreenVines is a green corridor space in Tampines — check the OnePA event page for precise directions to the 640 drop-off point. Easy to combine with the Summer Paw Fest earlier in the day if you're in the east.

14. Puppies and Pilates

Image credit: Puppies and Pilates

22 May 2026 (Friday) | 3:30pm & 4:30pm sessions The Palm Singapore, 181 East Coast Road

A 45-minute guided mat Pilates class — with puppies loose in the room. Organised by Soulevé, this is one of the more distinctive wellness offerings on the May calendar. The structure is straightforward: you move through a low-impact mat Pilates sequence focused on core stability, mobility and balance, while puppies roam freely around the studio doing whatever puppies do.

After the class, there's a deliberate wind-down window to play with the puppies, take photos and decompress before heading out.

Sessions: 3:30pm and 4:30pm (two separate bookings — pick one) Duration: Approximately 2 hours per session (class + puppy time) For: Anyone — you don't need to bring your own dog

What to bring:

• Grip socks (mandatory — not optional)
• No mat needed; arrive 10–15 minutes early

Crowd level: Low — intimate studio format

Who this is for: Dog lovers who want something different from a standard pet fair. It's also a genuinely good Pilates class — Soulevé positions itself as a premium offering, not a novelty gimmick.

Practical tips:

• Book via Eventbrite — two separate time slots, both ticketed
• The Palm is at 181 East Coast Road; accessible from Paya Lebar or Dakota MRT (CC/EW lines), then a short bus or taxi ride
• No refunds — check your schedule before booking
• Parking on East Coast Road is possible but tight on Friday afternoons; public transport is easier

15. Night At Orchard — May Edition

Image credit: Night at Orchard

29–31 May 2026 | 3pm – 10pm Orchard Road, Pedestrian Walkway in front of Ngee Ann City

Night At Orchard is one of Singapore's most recognisable recurring open-air markets — and it's pet-friendly. The May edition runs across a long Friday-to-Sunday stretch on the Orchard Road pedestrian walkway, with curated brand pop-ups, exclusive promotions and street-side shopping.

For: All pets — leash, carrier or stroller

Crowd level: Moderate — busiest on Saturday evenings

Best time to visit: Friday or early evening any night

Practical tip: Orchard MRT (NS/TE lines) puts you right there. Don't attempt to drive — parking is a genuine headache on Orchard Road. Evening temperatures are easier on pets than afternoons. Keep your dog on a secure leash; the pedestrian walkway gets lively.

A flat-buckle dog collar with your contact details visible is essential for any crowded night event.

What to Know About Singapore's May Weather

May sits in Singapore's inter-monsoon period. Expect:

• Average temperature: 27–33°C
• Humidity: High, especially mid-morning to mid-afternoon
• Rain: Frequent afternoon showers, often brief but heavy

For outdoor events, early mornings (before 10am) and evenings (after 5pm) are the most comfortable windows for your pet. Always carry water. If your dog is short-nosed (brachycephalic) — think Bulldogs, Pugs, Shih Tzus — be extra cautious with outdoor afternoon events.

For a deeper look at keeping dogs healthy in Singapore's climate year-round, our Complete Dog Health Guide for Singapore Owners covers heat-related risks and daily wellness markers worth knowing.

Practical Notes for First-Timers

If you're bringing your pet to a public event for the first time, a few things are worth thinking through before you go:

Leash requirements: All outdoor events above require dogs to be on a leash at all times. Singapore's leash regulations apply in public spaces. For a full breakdown, see our guide to Singapore dog leash laws and regulations.

Gear: For charity walks and longer outdoor events like Pawpathon, a hands-free leash gives you better mobility. For fairs and markets, a standard fixed-length leash gives you more control in tighter spaces.

Waste: Most pet events expect you to clean up after your dog. Carry your own — a biodegradable poop bag holder clips to your leash and means you're never caught without one.

Food and water: Bring your own water and a collapsible bowl. Not all venues have dedicated pet water stations.

Crowd safety: If you're new to these events and unsure what to expect, our honest guide — Are Pet Events Actually Safe? — is worth reading before you go.
