The Baba Nyonya Literary Festival is back by popular demand.
The culturally immersive festival, which is hosted by The Peranakan Association Singapore, aims to preserve and promote Peranakan culture through displaying the literary works of both Peranakan and non-Peranakan writers. The inaugural festival, which sold out last year, will be held this year on March 19 and 20, 2022, from 1 to 4pm at the National Library Building, and the guest of honour this year is former general Winston Choo.

Here’s what you can expect from the festival: Panel discussions moderated by relevant experts of the Peranakan culture to explore the myriad aspects of Peranakan heritage; learn the secrets of culinary recipes from expert Peranakan cooks, who have skilfully fused modernity with heritage; or allow yourself to be captivated by the romantic tales on the rich lifestyles of Peranakans of yore.
