Third spaces are where citizens find each other.

Rest. Parenting. Neighbourhoods. Social impact. [X].

Whatever brings you here, whoever you're looking for – CNFC Festival is a space to explore different communities, causes, curiosities.

A one-day public event on 17 Oct 2026 at Common Ground Civic Centre where we ask: What do we need third spaces for?

What happens at CNFC Festival?

A full day of sessions in collaboration with our programme partners – socially-oriented organisations and practitioners working on social concerns across Singapore – each responding in their own way to the question: What do we need third spaces for?

You choose how you participate: come for a session, or stay for the whole day!

Learn: Expand your understanding of social concerns that matter to you.

Connect: Meet people who share your concerns — from different parts of the community.

Reflect: Share experiences and leave with something to take forward.

Our partners and collaborators

Our programme partners for CNFC Festival bring their own communities, perspectives and expertise to the festival – spanning sustainability, advocacy, special needs, data storytelling, and more. Each responds to the shared prompt in their own way, making the festival a programme shaped by many different hands.
