Public Holiday Plans That’ll Wow the Kids!

Staying in town for Hari Raya on 7 June and wondering how to keep the kids entertained (and off their screens)? Café Melba’s Unicorns & Dragons Festival might just save the day. Held from 3pm to 6pm at both venues (Café Melba Goodman Arts Centre and Café Melba Mediapolis), this isn’t your average family outing. It’s a full-blown mini public holiday festival with face painting, balloon artists, themed crafts, and enough sparkle to power a small castle.

Here’s how to become your child’s hero this public holiday

Sparkly milkshakes, magical makeovers and family fun

Each little guest is treated like a VIP from the moment they arrive at the event, with a special activity pack filled with DIY unicorn and dragon kits, a food voucher (for a tomato or cheese pasta), a colourful unicorn milkshake, and their very own cupcake decorating session. It’s the kind of afternoon that’ll definitely earn a spot in their weekly news at school!

While they play, you slay (lunch!) at Café Melba

While the kids are off in unicorn wonderland or a dragon’s den, grown-ups can kick back over Café Melba favourites — think Balinese fried rice, fish and chips, chicken katsu burgers, or artisanal pizzas. Pair it with a Pimm’s Cup, an Ondeh Tini or just a very good coffee. Because who says kids should have all the fun?

Mini Festival, Major Magic

The vibe? Relaxed, shaded and low-fuss — just the thing if you’re dodging mall madness or playground heat. It’s a breather for you and a blast for them. Who knows, this may just become your new public holiday tradition?

Happening every public holiday at Café Melba

Best of all, the Unicorns & Dragons Festival runs every public holiday, so there’s always something magical to look forward to on the calendar. But don’t say we didn’t warn you – these afternoons fill up fast. Entry is $25 per child which includes a kids pasta, unicorn milkshake, DIY cupcake, games and crafts, face painting and balloon sculpting.

Top tip: Book your table early at cafemelba.com.sg — or risk the kids never letting you forget it.
