Qing Ming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is an important traditional Chinese festival observed in Singapore. It falls on the 4 Apr 2024 this year.
Families would gather to pay respects to their ancestors by cleaning and sweeping their gravesites, offering food, burning incense, and making offerings of symbolic items such as paper money and other objects. It is believed that these actions honor and appease the spirits of the deceased.
The festival is also an occasion for family reunions, where relatives come together to share meals and reminisce about their ancestors.
