F1 is happening this weekend and so is the latest edition of New Bahru Extra Curious Activities (ECA), a design-led fair highlighting different creative brands in the region.
This edition is aptly titled ECA: Pit Stop, inspired by the F1 races. It will happen from 3 October to 5 October 2025 at The Factory.
Over 60 Creative Brands
The brand selection will feature 49 resident Singapore brands and 20 guest brands. Check out the full list here!
Browse through apparel brands like Sanje (Indonesia) and Sardine (Thailand), alongside local names such as loungewear by rise rise and TELL YOUR CHILDREN.
If you enjoy trinkets and accessories, there are also options like Scent Journer, hues and Talking Toes!
Something unique are the design-forward brands. Names you might recognise are lamp designer SONOGO Design and hrvst.store, a letterpress craft booth by The Gentlemen’s Press.
There are also activations across New Bahru, like walking tours and workshops. Pop by the Build Your Own Race Bag Charm by Crafune or join a walking tour by MOOM Health.
The space is also pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends down to enjoy the activities!
