Live cooking stations, face painting, henna tattoo stalls, and performances by the festival's resident band - the Blue Light Collective - all provided a fun day-out for visitors.
In addition, traditional Chinese dragon dancers, acrobats and jugglers amazed the crowds with their skills and agility.
Organisers say the two-day festival is a clear demonstration of the vibrancy and excitement the 'Lion City' offers through its own dynamic range of activities and dining options, reflecting Singapore's multi-cultural population.
Entry to the Tiger Beer Singapore Chilli Crab festival is free for all visitors between 2pm to 10pm today, at the Souk Madinat Jumeirah Amphitheatre.

About the Singapore Chilli CrabThe mouth-watering chilli crab dish was first created by Singaporean chef Madam Cher Yam Tian and has become the unofficial national dish of the country. The chef set up a hawker stall at the seafront with her husband and invented the dish in 1956 using fresh crab, red chillies, tomato sauce, fresh eggs and spring onions.
