June is Pride Month and while the annual gathering Pink Dot remains its tentpole event, there are many others well worth supporting and turning up for. Here, we’ve put together a list for the
Pink Screen
Filmhouse
The beloved queer film festival Pink Fest is back for its ninth edition: this year’s programme moves between camp classics and contemporary queer cinema, tracing LGBTQ+ lives across generations, geographies and moods — from Hollywood drag-road-trip chaos in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995), to the aching quiet of Brokeback Mountain (2005), and newer regional stories like Cactus Pears, which explore love, duty, survival and resistance in South Asian contexts. We’d also recommend Montreal, My Beautiful (pictured), which focuses on a side of queerness seldom depicted on the big screen: middle-aged love; Joan Chen plays a Chinese immigrant who finally picks up the courage to explore new things after decades of repression.

On now till June 28, various times, at Filmhouse, 6001 Beach Road, #05-00 Golden Mile Tower
Faguette
Marina Summers—Filipino drag royalty and no stranger to the spotlight from RuPaul’s Drag Race Philippines, UK vs The World and Drag Race Live in Las Vegas—is kicking off Faguette’s Pride warehouse season in Singapore. The party runs across three Saturdays (June 7, June 21, and July 5), bringing together local and international drag, music and queer nightlife culture in a full-blown celebration of excess, community and survival.

June 7, June 21, and July 5, 5pm – 10.30pm, at 37 Tanjong Pagar Distripark, 37 Keppel Rd, #01-02
AFTERPINK SOCIAL GATHERINGS
This June, queer bar Host turns into AFTERPINK—a weekly Saturday hangout that blends queer community, music and fundraising. Running every Saturday night, the series invites festival-goers to drop in, meet local community groups like Pink Dot, Oogachaga and The T Project, and use the space as a post-event wind-down spot that slowly turns into a party.
Each week features a different soundtrack, kicking off with an electroclash and acid-heavy opening night on June c6 urated by local queer selectors. A portion of all bar proceeds across the month goes directly to Pink Dot, so every drink quietly adds to the fundraising goal.
June 6, 13, 20, 27, 8pm onwards, at Host, 55A Neil Road, level 2
Pink Pasar
Singapore’s best-known inclusive market is bringing together 67 local vendors, selling everything from quirky gifts and designer-made objects to treats for both humans and their four-legged companions. But the real draw is the atmosphere. Across two days, expect pet parades, tarot readings, jagua tattoos, face painting, lucky draws, live music and even pro-wrestling demonstrations by GrappleMax.
June 6, 11am – 8pm, June 6, 11am – 6pm, at New Bahru, 46 Kim Yam Road, level 2
Book vs Screen: The Heated Rivalry Edition
Queer reading group The Other Book Club’s next edition comes in a slightly more unhinged format than usual: Book vs Screen: The Heated Rivalry Edition. Rachel Reid’s novel goes head-to-head with the TV adaptation, and everyone in the room is expected to have an opinion—and preferably defend it loudly.
This is not a neutral space. It’s a debate night dressed up as a social, where attendees sign up as either speakers or audience members, then proceed to argue about romance, chemistry, pacing, and which version did the most emotional damage. Expect strong takes, louder laughs, and a potluck that slowly turns into a group debrief of fictional men behaving badly.
