Last month, we gave you a sneak peek into the upcoming highlights from this year’s Singapore Food Festival, and it seems that ION Orchard will kick off the weekend with a cosy indoor picnic, also a key highlight of its Culinary Creations 2016 campaign.

From Jul 15-17, you can look forward to exclusive dining deals and a line up of exciting activities, from culinary workshops to wine appreciation and food samplings by F&B brands like 4 Fingers Crispy Chicken, Mr Churros, Nara Thai, Wrap & Roll, and more.

We enjoy picnics outdoor as much as the next person, but it's just much more comfortable (temperature-wise) when it's in an indoor environment like B4 ION Orchard Station, complete with picnic mats and benches amidst the lush greenery. There's even a picnic basket up for grabs, completely filled with all sorts of snack packs and dining vouchers from Häagen-Dazs, Putien, Dunkin' Donuts and more.

Local celebs will also be making an appearance, with the likes of Mediacorp Artistes Desmond Tan and Ya Hui, as well as Class 95 DJs Yasminne Cheng, Tim Oh, and Mike Kasem.
