Little India's Festival Village on Campbell Lane still has two weeks on the clock. LISHA, the Little India Shopkeepers and Heritage Association, lists it from 10 October to 8 November 2026, from 7pm. Deepavali itself falls on Sunday 8 November. Monday 9 November is the substitute public holiday. The village shuts the night the holiday starts. Get there this Saturday if you want the last workshops.
Campbell Lane runs off Serangoon Road, beside the Indian Heritage Centre at 5 Campbell Lane. Little India MRT (NE7) or Farrer Park (NE8). LISHA's office is 48 Serangoon Road, Little India Arcade, #02-16, Singapore 217959. Phone 6392 2246. The official pages live on deepavali.sg.
Saturday 31 October is the last workshop night
Three programmes still have a 31 October date. Spice Blending Masterclass, 11am to 1pm, Campbell Lane, $8 a person, 20 pax. You make garam masala and sambar powder with a local chef, take home the blends, recipe cards and whole spices, then sit for a tasting. The page title and event details both say Campbell Lane. The poster on the same page prints Tekka Place. Trust the page text, then check your confirmation on lisha.ticketnow.sg before you walk.
Clay Diya Painting is 2pm to 4pm at Tekka Place, free with registration, 30 pax. Terracotta lamps, acrylic, gilding paste, rhinestones. The notes mention peacocks, lotus, and kolam patterns. Tekka Place sits on the Serangoon Road side of Tekka Centre, a short walk from Campbell Lane. Sangeetham Under the Stars is 8pm to 10pm at Campbell Lane Open Stage, free. Carnatic, fusion, Bollywood, and an emerging-artists set. The Indian Heritage Centre is 5 Campbell Lane, so the open stage and the Centre sit on the same lane. Register those three on TicketNow. The 17 October sessions are already past.
What the village is at 7pm
From 7pm the lane turns into a stall run: clothes, lamps, sweets, flowers. The official village graphic shows Campbell Lane as the venue and 10 October to 8 November, 7pm, as the hours. That is a night market, not a lunchtime bazaar. If you arrive at 5pm you will get the shops that are always there. The Festival Village overlay starts at 7pm. Brass Lamp Engraving at Tekka Place was 10 October. Street Light-Up at Birch Road was 3 October. Both are done. Big Bus Deepavali tours also dated 10 October. I am not sending you to those.
Eat on the lane or walk to Tekka Centre for thosai and mutton soup before the 7pm opening. Tekka's own Q4 wash is 30 November and 1 December, so the cooked-food floor is open through Deepavali week. Campbell Lane gets tight after 8pm on Saturdays. If you want the $8 spice class, be at the meeting point before 11am. Twenty seats go quickly on TicketNow. The clay class takes 30. Sangeetham is a standing crowd on the lane, no ticket required once you register, and the page still asks you to tap TicketNow.
