Festivalgoers gather at SMU Campus Green for Live, Laugh, Lor, where students from all eight Singapore universities shared the stage in a vibrant showcase of youth talent and collaboration

Campus Green came alive as Live, Laugh, Lor drew in thousands as part of the 2025 Singapore Night Festival and SMU Arts Fest. For the first time in Singapore’s history, all eight higher education institutions, including NUS, NTU, SUTD, SIT, SUSS, UAS, and SIM, shared a stage with SMU. Strategic lightings and spotlights elevated the ambiance for the audience. The event was held over four nights on 29 & 30 August and 5 & 6 September. The evenings were filled with dynamic showcases: a five-university street dance crew that coordinated rehearsals across WhatsApp threads and homes; joint a cappella renditions of beloved local songs; and cultural performances that highlighted Singapore’s diversity.
