MORE ABOUT THE HAWKER SESSIONS & OUR SPONSORSHOW IT BEGANThe Hawker Sessions was conceived by one of the winning teams at the first Worldwide Feast Singapore. We realized that Friday nights in Singapore are seen by many as a night to unwind, eat, drink, and catch up with friends. So we thought, why not continue this tradition, but at a hawker centre where the money saved on expensive cocktails and spirits could then be put toward something meaningful like helping a local family in need? WHO WE ARE The team behind The Hawker Sessions is a melting pot of newcomers to the city and long-time residents, who believe giving should be simple, transparent and enjoyable for everyone. Singapore’s unique blend of locals and expats is something we look to replicate in our Sessions, to foster a community that is diverse and inclusive.
