Hosting its second edition at New Bahru, the expanded festival offers new ways to find connection, play, and growth beyond the screen
SINGAPORE, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — StarHub is turning New Bahru into a playground for digital wellbeing this September, as its 5G Wellness Festival returns for its biggest edition yet from 12 to 13 September. Part of StarHub’s The Power of Pause digital wellbeing movement, the expanded festival brings together two days of workshops, movement, play, music and shared experiences led by homegrown brands.
Whether it is finding inspiration, unwinding, moving, playing or simply spending time together, the festival offers different ways to meet the needs we often turn to our screens for, this time beyond the screen.
The festival builds on StarHub’s latest Digital Wellbeing study, which found that more than two-thirds of people in Singapore struggle to disconnect.¹ It also reflects StarHub’s belief that better connectivity should enable better experiences, helping people make the most of the connections that matter both online and offline. Through The Power of Pause, StarHub is encouraging people to build a more intentional relationship with technology and create space for meaningful moments away from the screen.
Five Ways to Press Pause
Inspired by StarHub’s five 5G Wellness Pillars, visitors can explore different ways to pause through self-care and play to mental enrichment, physical presence, and social connection.
- Glow: Express yourself with Soilboy‘s Petite Garden Arrangement workshop and bring home a keepsake that reminds you to pause, long after the festival ends.
- Glide: Enjoy a friendly game of table tennis at TopTable, turning a simple match into a moment of connection fuelled by some light-hearted competition.
- Grow: Spark your creativity through a hands-on watercolour art workshop with Chalk N Pencils.
- Ground: Reconnect with your body and surroundings through outdoor yoga sessions by The Hush Retreats. Slow down, release tension, and be present.
- Gather: Spend quality time with family and friends at the Lawn, with community live music, curated booths by homegrown brands and interactive activities.
The StarHub 5G Wellness Festival 2026 is open to the public from 12-13 September, 10am to 6pm, at New Bahru. Admission is free, with advance registration required for workshop participation.
