Singapore gears up for F1 race week and finance summits under haze
The Marina Bay night race runs Oct 9–11 alongside the Forbes CEO Conference, Milken Asia Summit and TOKEN2049, as haze from Indonesian forest fires blankets the city.
Why it matters
The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the country's biggest tourism and business events of the year. This week's edition arrives under haze and alongside a packed finance calendar, testing whether the city can keep the show running smoothly.
Full report
The Singapore Grand Prix night street race runs October 9–11 at Marina Bay, with about 40 fringe events and hundreds of thousands of fans expected. Hotel rates have surged: a one-night stay at the Fullerton Bay Hotel in the bay area was listed at S$5,030, versus about S$1,460 on normal dates. Race week doubles as finance week — the Forbes Global CEO Conference, the Milken Asia Summit (starting Wednesday) and the crypto conference TOKEN2049 are all being held in parallel, with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., investor Ray Dalio and Eric Trump, co-founder of the Trump family's crypto venture, among the announced attendees. The backdrop is cross-border haze from Indonesia's worst forest fires in more than a decade; Singapore's National Environment Agency forecast Monday air quality ranging from moderate-high to low-unhealthy. The tourism board says momentum for F1 and its fringe events remains strong. (Source: BusinessWorld, October 5, 2026; race dates cross-checked with singaporegp.sg.)
