Summer nights in Singapore just got a whole lot more exciting as we prepare to celebrate Qixi, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, on Saturday, August 10th! This enthralling festival symbolizes love, commitment, and admiration—making it the perfect occasion for couples and friends alike to gather and celebrate. Traditionally observed on the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar, Qixi draws inspiration from an ancient romantic tale from the Han dynasty, where two star-crossed lovers, Niulang the Cowherd and Zhinu the Weaver Girl, are reunited once a year across the Milky Way. And what better way to celebrate love than with a spectacular fireworks display illuminating the night sky?
