About SG Culture Pass
To be launched during SG60, the SG Culture Pass is a new initiative by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) designed to encourage Singapore Citizens to support Singapore’s arts and heritage programmes. Singapore Citizens aged 18 and above in 2025 will receive SG Culture Pass credits worth S$100 on 1 September 2025. These credits can be used to offset ticket purchases for eligible local arts and heritage activities and programmes offered by authorised ticketing partners. The credits will be valid from 1 September 2025 to 31 December 2028.

- Support for Local Arts: Participation in the scheme contributes to the growth and sustainability of Singapore’s arts sectors.
- Promotion Opportunities: Supported events will be featured on the official SG Culture Pass website, offering additional promotional channels to boost attendance and visibility.
