September is often touted as a time of change—but in a city without seasons, perhaps the change needs to come from within. As summer comes to a close and the final quarter of the year approaches, GRAZIA Singapore invites you to take change into your own hands and add a dose of vibrancy to your weekend.
Begin with a change of era—step into a rose-tinted, 1920s dream with a new midnight ritual at one of Singapore’s most glamorous bars. If you’re feeling restless, shake up your routine with a community run club by Lululemon, or a self-guided trail through one of Singapore’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Round out your weekend by treating yourself to a finely crafted journal and pen to record your recent adventures. Change is humming in the air, and this weekend is the perfect opportunity to follow its call.
Friday Night: Party Like Gatsby With Midnight Champagne At Atlas
The glamorous, art-deco-inspired Atlas bar’s main claim to fame is its extensive gin library, which is one of the world’s largest. But another tipple is the star of their latest offering: Atlas is leaning into the 1920s indulgence that inspires their space with Midnight Champagne, a new ritual inviting you to continue the revelry into the small hours. From midnight onwards every Friday and Saturday, guests can enjoy a rotating selection of cuvées, with the current pour being a Maxime Blin Brut. Atlas prides itself on being one of the world’s leading champagne destinations, housing over 220 prestigious labels in its striking Champagne Room—seize the invitation to discover how it earned this title.
Atlas is located at Parkview Square, 600 North Bridge Road, Singapore 188778.
Saturday Afternoon: Dine In Style At Cé La Vi’s New Elevated Brunch
Singapore isn’t short on luxury brunch experiences, but Cé La Vi’s take is sure to come with a touch of style and panache that can’t be replicated. Their new East Meets Extra elevated brunch experience features three courses of their signature modern Asian fusion flavours, including mains such as braised short ribs and tiger prawns in black pepper sauce, as well as a choice of free-flow champagne or brunch-exclusive cocktails. Perched high above the city atop Marina Bay Sands, you can expect to dine against panoramic city views and to the soundtrack of electric beats.
Cé La Vi is located at 1 Bayfront Avenue, Level 57, Hotel Tower 3, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018971.
Saturday Evening: Trace Jalan Besar’s Urban Heritage At The Makers’ Trail
Singapore Design Week is a golden opportunity to celebrate the urban fabric of the city and its often-overlooked pockets of creativity. One such opportunity comes with Find Your Folks @ Jalan Besar, an initiative blending culture, food, and design in a celebration of Singapore’s homegrown communities. This week, Find Your Folks has launched the Makers’ Trail, a self-guided walking trail through one of Singapore’s most iconic neighbourhoods. As you move through the trail at your own pace, you’ll find yourself concurrently tracing Jalan Besar’s history and character through local landmarks and all-new installations. The trail features public benches co-designed by local agency Lopelab and neighbourhood businesses, each a personalised artistic tribute to the retailers and suppliers that make up Jalan Besar’s community.
Find Your Folks @ Jalan Besar will be held across the Jalan Besar precinct. Register for a guided tour of the Makers’ Trail here, beginning at Redeye Smokehouse, 1 Cavan Road, Singapore 209842.
Sunday Morning: Get Your Steps In With Lululemon’s Run Club
Lululemon’s commitment to wellness doesn’t stop at ensuring you’re properly kitted for your workout. With their weekly run club, Lululemon offers a third space for like-minded runners to connect, share their goals, and create a community. Meeting bright and early on Sunday mornings, the sessions begin with goal-setting and are organised into three separate pace groups to remain open and accessible to all levels of runners. Why not add a touch of camaraderie to your workouts with a new morning ritual?

Sunday Night: Appreciate Fine Craftsmanship At Montblanc’s New Flagship Boutique
