THE SINGAPORE HERITAGEFEST 2008 (12-27 July), “WHO’S YOUR HERO?”
... brought to you by the Education & Outreach Division, National Heritage Board
The annual Singapore HeritageFest (SHF), a nationwide festival is held in July every year since 2004 to celebrate our multi-cultural heritage and through that, raises the level of understanding and appreciation for our heritage and history.
The year’s festival celebrates and remembers our Singapore Heroes. These are people who have contributed to Singapore both in big and small ways - the many ordinary and unsung heroes, and the heroes in all of us that together make up the unique Singaporean story. Through the fun-filled yet educational festival activities and programmes, the Festival aims to make Singaporeans realise that everyone plays a part in shaping the history and heritage of the future, and that the personal and collective stories of Singaporeans is what makes our multi-cultural heritage rich, interesting and unique.
