The best way to OOO.

The guide to the one of the coolest events happening in town from 5 to 7 April.

No plans for the weekend? It’s time to change that: COMO Weekend 2024 is officially kicking off in Singapore, and it’s bringing fashion, food, music and culture together in the best way.

The event, happening from 5 to 7 April, stands out with activities that look like they have been curated by that friend with great taste and great connections. The line-up includes a wine masterclass led by a master sommelier, a four-course dinner inspired by Bhutanese cuisine, an evening of live music and unique cocktails, and an invite-only trunk show from one of Australia’s hottest fashion brands.

Como Weekend 2024 is presented by Como Group—which owns Club 21 and Como Hotels and Resorts, among other companies—and marks a new global initiative that aims to bring together a community of people with a love for discovery and an appreciation for the finer things in life. If it sounds familiar, that’s because Como Weekend was previously teased in a series of pop-up events in Singapore last year. This month, the event is finally making its full-fledged debut here, with unforgettable experiences taking place across Como Dempsey and Como Orchard, before it goes on to launch in other countries around the world.

Now that you know what all the fuss is about, check out our guide to Como Weekend 2024—and discover all the cool things to see and do in the days to come.

COMO Cuisine Pop-Up Dinner

When: 5, 6 and 7 April
Where: Como Cuisine at Como Orchard

You won’t need to fly out to the Himalayas to enjoy a taste of Bhutanese cuisine. Over the Como Weekend, Como Cuisine executive chef Chutipol Laoyodtrakul will team up with chef Tshering Lhaden to offer a dinner experience full of rich flavours from the region. Expect the real deal: Lhaden, a Bhutan native who helms Como Uma Bhutan, helped craft the dinner menu in homage to her home country’s people, culture and landscape. Some of the distinctive dishes that will be whipped up include the First Harvest Bhutanese caviar and white asparagus, as well the “Egg Drop” tofu soup with river weed soup (also known as “churu gongdo”).

A Caviar and Wine Masterclass

When: 6 and 7 April
Where: Culina at Como Dempsey

Go beyond being a gourmand and get an insider’s understanding of what makes wine and caviar so special. This masterclass, led by Singapore’s first master sommelier Mathias Camilleri, and fine food specialist Vincent Jakircevic of Culina, will teach you all about the world’s finest delicacies. Discover the nuances of wine and its pairings, as well as how to pair caviar with drinks like champagne. You’ll get a taste of those pairings too: participants will be treated to Kaviari’s premium caviar varieties like Transmontanus (White Sturgeon), Oscietra Prestige and Kristal.

An Evening of Music and Drinks

When: 6 April
Where: Ippoh Tempura Bar by Ginza Ippoh and The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar at Como Dempsey

Here’s a good reason to spend your Saturday night at Como Dempsey. Both Ippoh Tempura Bar and The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar will be hosting a night of live music and drinks. For the former, expect jazz and pop performances by Vanessa Shavonne with a three-piece band. For the latter, sip on striking cocktails like Lychee Raspberry Bellini and Mandarin Mojito.
