Most activities are free to attend, but several (the parade, the night shows, the dance show and the meet & greets) require onsite registration and run on a first-come, first-served basis with limited capacity. Merchandise premiums need a qualifying spend.

For the first time in Asia, a parade featuring all 27 first partner Pokémon from the current nine generations of the video game series, together with two Pikachu, marches to music through Jewel's Forest Valley.

Merchandise & Spend Rewards

With a minimum spend of S$60 in a single receipt at participating outlets across Changi Airport's terminals (public and transit areas), Jewel or iShopChangi, you can buy these 30th Anniversary premiums while stocks last:

• Memory Game Challenge: spend S$100 in a single receipt to play; prizes include Pokémon medallions, Funko Pop figurines and trading cards.
• Changi Rewards: accumulate S$600 in spend to redeem a free Pokémon 30th Anniversary premium on the Changi App (capped at four redemptions per member). Premiums drop every two weeks from 7 November.
• Pop-up stores: public-area locations at T3 Basement 2 (opposite Kopitiam and at the food kiosk area), Terminal 2 Departure (near Kenangan Coffee), Terminal 3 Central Immigration and Terminal 4 Departure Hall. Transit-area pop-ups are at T1, T2 and T3.

Getting There

The simplest route is the MRT to Changi Airport station on the East-West Line, then follow the signs to Terminal 3 or Jewel. Terminal 4 is a separate building, so check Changi's official pages for how to get there from the other terminals.

If you are driving, check Jewel's and Changi's official pages for current car park rates, as event-period arrangements can change. This guide does not quote parking rates because none were published in the event release.
