For book lovers and lifestyle enthusiasts in Singapore, November is shaping up to be a month to remember. Popular Bookstore, one of the nation’s most beloved book retailers, is back with its flagship event, BookFest@Singapore 2025, promising ten full days of literary delights, exclusive deals, and exciting experiences. Whether you are a devoted reader, a creative soul, or simply someone looking for an enjoyable day out with family or friends, this is one event you will not want to miss.
Why BookFest@Singapore 2025 Is a Must-Visit
BookFest@Singapore has earned its reputation as one of the largest book and lifestyle events of the year. Running from 14th to 23rd November 2025, the festival brings together a carefully curated selection of books, lifestyle products, workshops, and live programmes under one roof. It is an event that is not just about buying books but also about creating memorable experiences. The ten-day extravaganza is designed to appeal to all age groups, making it the perfect weekend activity or a midweek escape for anyone who enjoys reading and creativity.
One of the highlights of BookFest@Singapore 2025 is the exclusive book deals available only during the festival. Popular Bookstore has collaborated with publishers to bring discounts on bestsellers, new releases, and beloved classics. It’s the perfect opportunity to build your personal library without breaking the bank. From gripping novels to informative non-fiction, and from children’s picture books to cookbooks, there’s something for every reader.
The event also offers creative workshops and stage programmes, giving visitors the chance to interact with authors, illustrators, and creative professionals. Attending a workshop or a talk is not only enjoyable but also inspiring, offering new skills, ideas, and perspectives. For parents, it’s a wonderful way to engage children in reading and creativity through interactive sessions that make learning fun.
Special Feature: Dog Man Mascot Meet & Greet
A particular highlight for families and younger readers is the Dog Man Mascot Meet & Greet. Dog Man, the crime-fighting canine hero created by Dav Pilkey, has become a household name among children and adults alike. During this special session, visitors can meet the mascot in person, snap memorable photos, and celebrate the launch of Dog Man #14: Big Jim Believes.
Even better, fans who purchase two Dav Pilkey books, including the latest Dog Man #14, will receive a premium limited-edition Dog Man cap (while stocks last). This adds a delightful collectible element to the visit, making it more than just a regular book purchase. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Dog Man or introducing your child to the series for the first time, this event is sure to bring smiles, laughter, and lasting memories.
The Dog Man sessions are spread across two locations, making it accessible for more visitors:
-
POPULAR Bras Basah Complex: 15th November, 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm
