無論身在何處，我們都能接觸到文化遺產，它不僅是我們日常生活中的一部分，還可能出現在意想不到的地方。我們只需要稍加留心，就能覓其蹤影。新加坡文化遺產節是新加坡國家文物局的年度重點活動，通過挖掘新加坡文化遺產鮮為人知的一面，聚焦不同的地域和社區，展示當地豐富的文化遺產資源。

　　參加者可以在新加坡不同地點參與一系列的活動，如文化遺產之旅、博物館開放日，或觀看節目表演，亦可聆聽新加坡多元文化的歷史與文化遺產的隱秘傳說。

　　新加坡文化遺產節通過與不同群體和組織的合作，呈現新奇、豐富多彩的節目。主辦方也希望通過與社區之間的緊密合作，鼓勵更多的團體向公眾分享他們的故事，共同展示新加坡璀璨的文化遺產。

　　新加坡文化遺產節自2004年起已舉辦16屆。今年的文化遺產節為新加坡開埠200周年進行了特別策劃，在3月15日至4月7日期間的4個周末舉辦了一系列的活動，旨在講述新加坡的過去，鼓勵新加坡人回顧歷史，特別是1819年新加坡開埠前后的心路歷程。

　　2019年的新加坡遺產節有不少亮點：

　　一、在市區七個地點的建筑上呈現一系列的幻燈投影，講述改變新加坡歷史的人、事、物。這些地點包括紹氏豪華大廈、舊禧街警察局和維多利亞街國家圖書館。

　　二、推出以“乘搭與發掘”為主題的巴士站展覽。在近100個巴士站，設置展示牌介紹附近地區的故事。

　　三、推出名為“巴士與道路：巴士戲劇體驗”的互動式巴士表演。乘客與打扮成1970年代的人物一起穿街走巷，并通過生動的表演了解新加坡歷史。

Singapore Heritage Festival

　　Heritage is all around us, in unexpected spaces and everyday places, and we just have to look a little more closely to find it. The Singapore Heritage Festival (SHF) is the National Heritage Board’s annual signature festival, which celebrates Singapore’s rich cultural heritage by presenting the lesser-known aspects about Singapore’s heritage and spotlighting different enclaves and neighbourhoods in each edition of SHF.

　　Participants can enjoy heritage trails, tours, open houses, and performances at spots around Singapore, and hear hidden tales of our colourful history and heritage. A festival for the people, by the people, SHF seeks to present novel and immersive programmes and experiences in partnership with the community and stakeholders. Through close partnerships with the community, SHF also hopes to empower more groups to share their stories with the public in celebration of Singapore’s vibrant cultural heritage.

　　SHF was launched in 2004 and is currently in its 16th year. This year’s SHF was a special Singapore Bicentennial edition, held over four weekends from 15 March to 7 April 2019, with activities and programmes that aimed to tell the stories of how Singapore came to be, and allowed Singaporeans to reflect on their history and learn about what shaped Singapore before and after that turning point in 1819, to the nation that it is today.

　　The highlights of this year’s SHF included:

　　a)Light projections on the facades of historic buildings such as Shaw Tower, the Old Hill Street Police Station and the National Library Board building at Victoria Street, that revealed stories of Singapore’s history.

　　b)Over 100 bus stop panels across four bus routes were reimagined as exhibition spaces, to educate commuters of the interesting bits of information about the history and heritage of the places connected to each bus stop’s location.

　　c)An immersive bus theatrical show, Buses and Roads: A Bus Theatre Experience. Participants embarked on a journey from the National Museum of Singapore to the Malay Heritage Centre and back, reliving Singapore in the 1970s through funny, entertaining and memorable interactions with a cast of characters.
