Each year when the Mid-Autumn Festival rolls around, Singaporeans go lunar-tic for mooncakes. Mooncakes start appearing in our homes, offices, and even our shopping malls in the form of mooncake fairs.
Why do we need mooncake fairs when we can order them online? Well, do you prefer ordering clothes online, or trying them out in stores? Do you prefer browsing online bookstores, or leafing through the pages of a book in your hand? Mooncake fairs are the perfect places to sample mooncakes and really get to know your mooncake options before you make your purchase.
Arguably the biggest and most well-known mooncake fair in Singapore is Takashimaya’s annual Mid-Autumn Fair, which is back this year with over 60 mooncake brands. But for those of us who don’t fancy fighting with the crowds at that hotspot, rest assured that there’s a ton of mooncake fairs in the rest of Singapore too. Here’s your ultimate guide to the best mooncake fairs in Singapore this Mid-Autumn season 2024.
Before we talk about the mooncake fairs, let’s talk about fair prices. How much can you expect to pay for your mooncakes? Here’s a quick look at mooncake prices from hotels, restaurants and more.

Our list has to start with the largest mooncake fair in Singapore—Takashimaya’s Mid-Autumn Festive Celebration 2024.

There’s also a selection of mooncakes from overseas brands to tickle your fancy.
If you don’t want to physically go down to Takashimaya (we get it, work/family/life is tiring), check out their online catalogue for over 600 products you can order from the comfort of your home.

3. Mooncake Fair in Singapore 2024 (Central)—TANGS
The TANGS Mid-Autumn Fair is another huge mooncake fair in Singapore, with over 50 mooncake brands on site. But it’s also a huge fair for another reason— it’s happening at 3 locations across Singapore: NEX, VivoCity, and Parkway Parade. Here are the fair locations and dates:

Parkway Parade, Basement Atrium: 26 Aug (Mon) to 17 Sep (Tue)

4. Mooncake Fairs in Singapore 2024 (North)—Northpoint City
Speaking as someone who lives in the North herself, Northpoint is the most happening mall we have. This Mid-Autumn Festival season is no exception, as the Mid-Autumn Fair 2024 in Northpoint City brings in a wide range of mooncake vendors. These include Home’s Favourite, Hong Kong Bay, Mdm Ling Bakery, St. Regis Singapore, and Swiss Cottage Bakery.
On top of the mooncake selection, the mall is also running a promotion for Frasers Experience (FRx) members: earn FRx Points when you spend a minimum of $10 in a single transaction at the fair! Simply present your receipt and scan your FRx QR Code at the Customer Service on Level 2 of the North Wing.

5. Mooncake Fair in Singapore 2024 (North-East)—NEX
The mooncake fair happening at NEX’s L1 Atrium is one of 3 iterations of the TANGS Mid-Autumn Fair 2024. The NEX fair is slightly smaller than its TANGS and VivoCity counterparts, but it doesn’t skimp on choices. Savour baked, flaky, snowskin, durian, and even mochi mooncakes!
The NEX Mid-Autumn Fair 2024 is also an opportunity for you to earn loyalty points when you purchase mooncakes. If you’re a NEXrewards Member, you’ll earn NEXpoints when you spend at least $20 spending in a single transaction at the fair, which—let’s be honest—you will, given the prices of mooncakes these days.
