16th Day of the 8th Lunar Month - the celebrations commences!
Everything is set up at Eng Hoon Street today, as the celebration for the Birthday of the Great Heavenly Sage commences - and it is also the 90th Anniversary of this particular temple.
Something to look out for this time would be the display of a wide range of historic sedan chairs for the temple that have been gifted by devotees over the decades.
The main prayer event for today begins at 4.30pm, if you are in the hood, come by too. Check out the Chinese street opera (Teochew) from this evening!
All are invited - note that the bamboo with the lanterns is a 'signal' to heavenly beings to come join in the festivities.
