Glitz And Glamour is the theme of this year's Singapore Night Festival, the annual outdoor extravaganza drawing night owls from all over Singapore to the Bras Basah-Bugis district.

Happening on Friday and Saturday starting tonight and next weekend, the festival promises to have its fair share of fabulousness with drag acts and glam rock performances, as well as its mainstay of light installations, projections and breathtaking circus-inspired outdoor shows.

This year's edition is expanded to include more than 60 partners, including the Singapore Pinacotheque de Paris in Fort Canning Park, photography space Deck in Prinsep Street and National Design Centre in Middle Road.

Life susses out the festival's highlights from more than 100 programmes, some running till 2am.
