Explore eco-friendly products, immersive workshops and inspiring talks by the sustainable home and décor brands at Green-House 2024, taking place this weekend at New Bahru
Organised by the creative minds at Pass It On Studio, Singapore’s sustainable lifestyle festival Green-House 2024 will unveil three immersive concept spaces at the bustling New Bahru this weekend, promising a memorable and inspiring experience for all ages.
Discover eco-friendly homegrown brands, exclusive cross-collaborations, thought-provoking art pieces, a plant-forward dining experience, adoption drives for furry friends, eye-opening films, and other fun surprises as you explore the three zones of Green-House 2024.
The festival was first conceptualised by Michelle Chow, who was inspired during a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, leading to the debut of Green-House in 2022. Since its pilot, the festival’s curation of brands, workshops, talks, and out-of-the-box partnerships has continued to celebrate different facets of sustainability, aiming to inspire and educate attendees to live and consume more consciously.
This year, the festival has partnered with Mercedes-Benz, Samsonite, Nespresso, Helinox, Furniche, and Castlery.

The festival will be divided into three zones for visitors to explore over the weekend.

The Reimagine Zone (The School Hall), taking a step towards “a bold new world”, where visitors will get to explore innovative products and engage in food, lifestyle, wellness, and mindfulness workshops.
The Reconnect Zone (The Lawn), to be “one with nature”—here you’ll be invited to immerse yourself in the outdoors, appreciate the surrounding flora and fauna with a cosy picnic, and even discover the ins and outs of camping and survival hacks.
