K!DZ Pop Con Asia 2026 Is Coming — And It Looks Like the Best One Yet
Bluey, Toy Story 5, bouncing castles, lightsabers & more — two massive days for Singapore kids and families
📅 23–24 MAY 2026 | 📍 SANDS EXPO & CONVENTION CENTRE, LEVEL 1
If you have a child who loves characters, bouncy castles, arts, crafts, or martial arts — clear your May 23–24 weekend. K!DZ Pop Con Asia is back at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, and the 2026 line-up is genuinely stacked.
After a successful run last year, Singapore’s biggest family-focused pop culture convention returns for two action-packed days. Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board and with Mediacorp as Official Media, this year’s event is bigger in scope — anchored by the Singapore debut of Bluey as Official IP, a Toy Story 5 tie-in, live stage performances, martial arts showcases, and a dedicated zone of inflatable madness. Here’s everything you need to know.
🐾 Bluey Makes Her K!DZ Pop Con Debut
This is the headliner families have been waiting for. Bluey is stepping off the screen and into Sands Expo for the very first time, bringing along Bingo and all the warmth and playfulness that has made the Australian animated series a global phenomenon.
Here’s what the Bluey zone has in store:
- Bluey Live Experience — a live stage show featuring screenings of beloved episodes
- Meet & Greet — get up close with Bluey and Bingo mascots in person
- Singapore’s biggest Bluey inflatable playground — enough said
- Colouring activities and an art wall for young creatives
- Official Bluey books and toys available for purchase
For parents who have watched more Bluey episodes than they care to admit, this is the rare chance to see your child’s face light up at a full-scale real-world experience.
🚀 To Infinity and Beyond — Toy Story 5 Comes to Life
With Toy Story 5 hitting cinemas on 18 June 2026, K!DZ Pop Con is the perfect warm-up act. The dedicated booth lets kids and families:
- Make their own Forky — the beloved arts-and-crafts character returns
- Try their hand at Toy Story 5-themed sand art
- Step into Buzz Lightyear’s packaging for a photo opportunity
- Stand a chance to win special movie premiums
Whether your family is die-hard Toy Story fans or just excited for the new film, this is a fun way to build up the anticipation before it opens in theatres.
🎪 Bouncing Castles Zone — The Classic Returns
Back by popular demand, the Baby Shark bouncing castles are making a return, joined this year by a Bluey inflatable and a full range from Smigy. The Bouncing Castles Zone is always one of the most chaotic (in the best possible way) corners of the event — expect kids to refuse to leave.
Note that inflatable access requires the All Access Pass — the basic entry ticket does not include bouncing castles, so plan accordingly.
🥋 Martial Arts on the Main Stage
Sabertooth Taekwondo brings a high-energy stage showcase complete with demonstrations and a Taekwondo dance segment. They’ll also be running hands-on activities at their booth. Better yet, every ticket holder is entitled to a free trial class worth $50 — just WhatsApp +65 9488 4115 quoting “Kidz Pop Con” to reserve your spot.
Aikido Shinju-Kai offers something a bit different: interactive Aikido sessions blending practical self-defence techniques with games and prizes. Certified instructors lead beginner-friendly workshops teaching focus, confidence, and conflict resolution without aggression. Ticket holders also get a free Aikido trial lesson worth $29.
Both programmes are genuinely well-suited for primary-school-age kids and a great way to test the waters before committing to a regular class.
⚔️ Build Your Own Lightsaber — SaberMach Workshop
One of the coolest hands-on activities at K!DZ Pop Con Asia this year is the SaberMach Saber Building Workshop. Participants get to assemble their own custom illuminated saber from scratch — a genuinely impressive keepsake that any kid (or adult) will love. If you’ve ever visited the similar experience at certain theme parks and balked at the price, this is worth checking out.
🎨 HiArt — For the Creative Kids
HiArt brings a dedicated art zone featuring interactive storytelling workshops, guided art classes, a live creation contest, and an art competition. Whether your child is a budding Picasso or simply loves getting paint on their hands, this zone offers a genuinely enriching creative experience in the middle of all the excitement.
📚 NTUC First Campus — Learning Through Play
Strategic Partner NTUC First Campus will be showcasing hands-on learning experiences across booths from My First Skool, Little Skool-House, Changemakers Explorer, and Outdoor School Singapore. Expect digital discovery activities, language-rich drama, nature-inspired crafts, and problem-solving challenges — all designed to make learning feel like play.
🧜 Syrena Singapore Mermaid — An Enchanting Appearance
Adding a touch of magic to the line-up, the Syrena Singapore Mermaid and her pod will be making special appearances for meet-and-greet sessions and interactive activities. A memorable moment for younger children especially.
🌟 K!DZ Cosplay Competition
Happening on Sunday, 24 May at 3PM on the Main Stage, the K!DZ Cosplay Competition is open to ticket holders, with shortlisted participants notified ahead of the event. Come dressed as your favourite character for a chance to win attractive prizes.

GameTrader.SG Verdict
K!DZ Pop Con Asia has grown into one of Singapore’s best family event weekends, and 2026 looks like the strongest edition yet. The Bluey debut alone will draw enormous crowds — and between the Toy Story 5 tie-in, lightsaber building, martial arts trials, and the biggest bouncing castle zone in Singapore, there really is something for every age group.
If you have primary-school-age kids, this is comfortably one of the top family outings of the year. Grab the Family All Access Pass for the best value, show up early to beat queues at the Bluey zone, and factor in the free martial arts trial perks — that alone more than covers the cost of a ticket.
