From a much-hyped weekend market to a reigning hip hop legend, you won't be short of things to do this weekend. 

Singapore Night Festival 2014

This popular nocturnal arts festival returns this weekend, with museums from the heritage district opening their doors late into the night. They'll play host to a spectrum of colorful events and showcases, including music, dance, installation art and aerial stunts. 

Creatory 

Food, music, architecture and art collide in this weekend festival, with more than 50 of Singapore’s best tastemakers coming together within a repurposed industrial space. Highlights include roving food vendors like 2am:dessertbar and Artichoke, as well as a Frankenstein exhibition by design firm Kult.
 
 

This performance pays tribute to modern dance pioneer Martha Graham, in a fascinating reinterpretation of her 1963 interview with dance critic Terry Walter. Graham is played by male choreographer and filmmaker Richard Move, recognized for his stunning ability to recreate the dance legend's work.  

 
 

We'll most definitely be catching this hip hop heavyweight in action at upcoming poolside mini-festival Summerdaze. He'll be playing alongside DJs Shortkut and Neil Armstrong, with tickets going at an unbelievable $20 via a simple download of Guevera's music streaming app. 

The Magic of Marilyn Monroe: Some Like It Hot

The Screening Room revisits the work of one of Hollywood’s beloved screen sirens. In Some Like it Hot, she plays a jazz singer who catches the eye of a pair of cross-dressing gangsters (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon). Expect lots of laughs—the film’s hailed as one of the greatest comedies of all time by the American Film Institute.  
 
 

Renowned for his abstract Pago Pago paintings, Malaysian artist Abdul Latiff Mohidin will be showcasing his latest paintings and artwork at the Opera Gallery. This solo exhibition is curated by Latiff’s friend T.K Sabapathy, Singapore's foremost art historian, curator and critic.
