How to Use Your S$100 SG Culture Pass

From September 1 2025, Singaporeans will have one more reason to explore the nation’s vibrant arts and heritage scene. The government is rolling out the SG Culture Pass, a three-year initiative that gives every Singaporean aged 18 and above S$100 in credits to spend on cultural experiences. From theatre regulars to those who have not visited a gallery in years, the pass makes it easier and more affordable to reconnect with the arts.

The credits can be used for a wide range of experiences, from theatre productions, orchestra concerts and dance performances to writing workshops, ceramics classes and heritage walking tours. Visual arts exhibitions, cultural festivals and traditional crafts are all part of the line-up. Merely writing about it makes me excited!

The aim is not only to reward those who already support the local arts scene but also to encourage more Singaporeans to try something new. The credits are valid from 1 September 2025 through 31 December 2028, giving residents ample time to explore. The scheme is open to all Singapore citizens who are born on or before 31 December 2007 and who hold citizenship as of 31 December 2024.

Redemption will be simple. Eligible citizens will receive an SMS notification in September, after which they can log in to the SG Culture Pass portal with Singpass to access their credits. Ticketing partners such as Sistic, BookMyShow, Klook, Pelago, Globaltix and Trip.com will serve as platforms to book events and activities. While the credits cannot be donated or exchanged for cash, they may be used to purchase tickets for family members and friends.

To support this nationwide effort, the government has set aside S$300 million to fund the initiative. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong highlighted in an Instagram post that Singapore has built a distinctive culture and identity within a relatively short time, and he urged citizens to make full use of the credits, reminding them that “we must all do our part to nurture this Singaporean culture together.”

From pottery workshops to heritage tours and contemporary performances, the SG Culture Pass is designed as an invitation to rediscover and celebrate what makes Singapore’s arts and heritage unique.
