===
Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai has been a strong characteristic of Ramadan in Singapore. Unfortunately, two years ago, the world was hitted by the COVID 19 pandemic. As a result, the Ramadan Bazaar was gone for two years. Never thought it could happen and ruin the ambience of Ramadan in Singapore. And although there was the online version of Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai like last year, it couldn’t replace the actual Ramadan vibes that we love.
Thus, the news of Ramadan Bazaar returning in 2022 is like fresh air to us all. Finally, the Ramadan vibe we are waiting for is back! We’re really sure that almost all of you have been waiting for this moment to come. You must have missed shopping for some new clothes in Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai and strolling just to find some local foods with great taste.
But, we can’t deny that the COVID 19 is still around us. Accordingly, there are some adjustments made regarding the health protocol so the Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai can still be available this year–just like 2 years ago. However, we believe that these adjustments won’t be disappointing for us all.
These are several points that are adjusted to make Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai a safe place to visit during this holy month.
Unlike two years ago, the Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai 2022 will be scaled down. The main reason is to keep the bazaar area a safe place by avoiding too much of a crowd. Surely, visitors won’t come if the place seems too “risky”.
The scale down of Ramadan Bazaar 2022 Singapore feels like a good idea anyway. This year’s Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai will be divided into two zones, with the capacity of 20 stalls each. This is very different from the 2019 version, which had a total of 500 stalls! Well, 20 stalls for now indeed sounds like a very safe number.
Although the bazaar committee has made some efforts to make the event go following the COVID 19 situation, surely you need to be wise as well. If you’re not feeling healthy, maybe it is not the right time to visit the bazaar. Or, if you are already there and you see that the crowd is too much for you, it will be better for you to leave. After all, you have 30 days as your chance to visit the Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai comfortably.
Hopefully, this scale down on Ramadan Bazaar 2022 in Singapore won’t prevent all the visitors from having fun and enjoy the typicality of Ramadan in Singapore. Psst… prepare some budget for some new clothes and some good food!
This point has nothing to do with the COVID 19 pandemic policies. It is more of a request for the Bazaar Ramadan in Geylang Serai to have more traditional foods than modern foods.
As serious as it is, the request has been entered into the contract, so in this Ramadan Bazaar 2022 Singapore, you can enjoy traditional foods that will remind you of the Hari Raya Puasa feel. This will be convenient for tourists from outside Singapore. They can easily try the local food of Singapore during Hari Raya Puasa, since the committee asks for 60% of the Ramadan Bazaar 2022 Singapore in Geylang Serai to be fulfilled by traditional foods. The rest is for modern food indeed.
Not only the food, but other non-food sellers should participate to promote the traditionality of Hari Raya Puasa.
Now back to the situation of the pandemic, the committee of the Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai also put an important requirement for visitors that want to enter the area: they need to be vaccinated. This is, of course, to make sure that even though there is a small crowd in the bazaar area, the immunity of the people is in a good condition.
Other than the important requirement for entry, the bazaar committee also put some regulations for the ongoing event. For example, they divided the Bazaar Ramadan 2022 Singapore into two zones. The maximum number of people in each zone is only 100 people at the same time. Pretty small for such a big event, right? Of course, the committee has considered the space of the area and calculated the distance between each person, so the visitors won’t get too close.
Seeing that the committee of the bazaar takes care of the event very carefully by doing a tight control of the health protocol, you don’t need to worry to enter the Bazaar Ramadan 2022 Singapore.
This year’s Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai will be called “Geylang Serai Hari Raya Shopping Experience 2022”. Just like the previous pre-pandemic Ramadan Bazaar in Singapore, Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang Serai will be held for a month as well, from the 2nd of April to the 2nd of May. The Hari Raya Puasa itself will fall on the 3rd of May. You can visit the bazaar from 1 PM to 11 PM, so in case you have some free time, you can go there to wait for the break-fasting time.
