Pedestrian Night on Orchard Road

Do you know the stretch between Scotts Road and Bideford Road were closed to vehicular traffic last Saturday (4 July 2015) from 6 pm - 11pm for Pedestrian Night on Orchard Road.

So what is Pedestrian Night on Orchard Road?
This pilot initiative aims to inject street vibrancy into the precinct by creating a community space with accessible lifestyle experiences for all to enjoy.

The road was closed, allowing visitors to experience an array of bustling activities across the entire space on the iconic shopping boulevard.

The pilot Pedestrian Night has been successful in garnering public interest and enhancing Orchard Road’s street vibrancy and will be extended from July - December 2015. For the extension, the buzz will extend beyond the street and visitors can look forward to different themes, in-mall activities, special promotions and contests. Visitors can also participate in our monthly photo contests on Instagram/Facebook and stand a chance to win attractive prizes!

This initiative is organised by Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA) and supported by Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
