潮州节
Teochew Festival



















“潮州节”由新加坡潮州八邑会馆主办的文化盛事。由第42-43 届时任会长、现任会务顾问兼永远名誉会长郭明忠博士发起举办,旨在弘扬和传承潮州文化、让公众能够一次性了解感受潮州的民俗、手工艺、美食、戏剧等丰富的文化形式,凝聚本地与海外潮人社群。
2014年,首届潮州节于义安城广场盛大举行,为期12天,吸引逾10万人次到访;2016年,第二届在滨海湾金沙举行,规模再升级,展区扩展至4.5万平方英尺,为期10天,参与人数突破15万。2021年,适逢疫情,会馆创新推出“虚拟潮州村”线上平台,突破时空界限,让全球观众得以云端共襄盛举。
“潮州节”为新加坡社会带来一场沉浸式的文化体验。观者之中,有离乡愈久、乡情愈浓的长者,有稚气未脱的孩童,也有自幼听闻祖辈口中故土却未曾踏足的80、90后;更为寻根而来的中年人。“潮州节”不仅为远在他乡的潮州人带来了熟悉的乡味,也唤起了长者心中的温暖记忆;同时,让本地非潮籍及各族群朋友近距离领略潮州文化的独特魅力。如今潮州节掀起的文化热潮仍在延续,“潮州人,家己人,嘿呦嘿呦”的主题曲更是深入人心、广为传唱。
Teochew Festival is a signature cultural event organised by Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan (Singapore). It was initiated by Dr George Quek, then President of the 42nd–43rd Terms and current Adviser and Life Honorary President of the Huay Kuan. The festival aims to preserve and promote Teochew culture. It showcases Teochew traditions, crafts, cuisine and opera, while bringing together Teochews in Singapore and around the world.
The first Teochew Festival was held at Ngee Ann City in 2014. The 12-day event attracted more than 100,000 visitors. The second edition took place at Marina Bay Sands in 2016. It featured a larger 45,000-square-foot exhibition space over 10 days and welcomed more than 150,000 visitors. In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Huay Kuan launched the Virtual Teochew Village, allowing audiences around the world to experience the festival online.
Teochew Festival offers an immersive cultural experience for people of all ages. It welcomes elderly Teochews who miss their hometown, young children discovering their heritage, younger generations tracing their roots, and visitors from all backgrounds. The festival not only brings familiar tastes and cherished memories to the Teochew community, but also introduces the richness of Teochew culture to the wider public. Today, its cultural influence continues to grow. Its theme song, “Teochew Nang, Ka-Ki Nang, Hey Yo Hey Yo”, remains widely recognised and warmly embraced.
