City Square Mall celebrated inclusiveness, regardless of race, language or religion, by partnering the Disabled People's Association (DPA) during the mall’s recent National Day carnival. DPA is Singapore’s only cross-disability non-profit organisation run by disabled people for disabled people. They represent the disabled community, working to build a fairer society where everyone can participate in all aspects of life from education to employment and access to social integration.

Filled with fun activities from giant flag eraser game to giant pick-up sticks games, the carnival was a celebration of Singapore’s 57th birthday and the first physical celebration event since pandemic measures eased. By having a booth with informational brochures that the public could learn more about their peers at this event, City Square Mall raised awareness about the need for a more inclusive and accessible Singapore.

Shoppers were treated to a surprise flash mob performance choreographed and performed by dancers from Distinct Creative Arts with members of the DPA. This flash mob consisted of students from Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN) Katong, APSN Chao Yang and members from SUN-DAC. The effort put in by the 85 dancers was evident in their enthusiastic dance item to a mash-up of much-loved National Day themed songs.

Apart from the performance, there was a roving balloon sculptor, face painting station and a colouring station to provide shoppers with endless fun and entertainment.
