All eyes are on the free perks that we can get from the newly-announced Budget 2026. However, don\u2019t forget about your SG Culture Pass credits from 2025! Whether you still have some outstanding credits or have been leaving the SG Culture Pass completely untouched, this list is for you. From dazzling performances to eye-opening workshops, here is a list of exciting activities where you can use your SG Culture Pass.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the SG Culture Pass?<\/span><\/h2>\n

As announced during Budget 2025, the SG Culture Pass is a brand-new initiative launched by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY), aimed at encouraging more Singaporeans to participate and support the local arts and culture scene. All Singaporean citizens <\/span>aged 18 years old and above (as of 31 December 2024)<\/b> are eligible to redeem the SG Culture Pass.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every eligible Singaporean receives $100 worth of credits<\/b>, which can be used to offset costs for a variety of arts and heritage experiences, ranging from workshops to even book purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who are single and ready to mingle, here is another piece of good news: The government has recently announced a collaboration with dating app Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB). Instead of the typical first dates over dinner, level up your experience with something more unique. From 14 February onwards, CMB couples can get first dibs on promotions for selected date-friendly events with their Culture Pass credits.<\/span><\/p>\n

When does the SG Culture Pass expire?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The SG Culture Pass expires on <\/span>31 December 2028<\/b>, hence allowing for ample time to explore and decide where to use your credits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
