If you are a fan of Hello Kitty or looking for a new place to capture photos for your Instagram, you will be happy to know that some of your favourite Sanrio characters will be making an appearance at Siloso beach on Sentosa.

From Dec. 12, 2020, to Jan. 3, 2021, Sentosa is holding a festive beach light-up, called Island Lights with Sanrio characters.

Larger-than-life light installations

The light-up along Siloso beach will feature beloved Sanrio characters, such as Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, My Melody and Little Twin Stars, alongside classic retro icons from Singapore's past.

This includes past landmarks, such as an eight-metre-tall installation of a former attraction’s colourful waterslides, old-school monorails and cable cars.

Visitors to the light-up will be able to snap photos and view 12-metre-long LED neon outlines of loveable Sanrio characters.

Here are some artist's impressions of Hello Kitty and My Melody.
