Twestival Singapore 2009

There is an exciting piece of news from the Asian region happening this weekend - Twestival 2009! So what exactly is Twestival?

Short for Twitter Festival, Twestival is an event run purely by volunteers around the world to bring people offline together, particularly the local Twitter community, for a great cause. It has been held in more than 202 cities worldwide and has ranged from a myriad activities from casual cafe dinners to charity bazaars.

This weekend, Singapore will be having its very first Twestival on September 12th with a carnival offering food and games! Their aim is to raise $10,000 for the Children's Cancer Foundation: Singapore - a foundation that builds a support community for children with cancer and their families. If you're in town this weekend, do drop by Twestival and have a good time with some local "Tweeples".

Note: I've been told by the organizers that there are some extra specials for Twitter users so start gathering your Twitter pals for this Sat.

Details are as follows:

Date : 12th September 2009 (Saturday)

Venue :  Open space beside Chinatown Complex, Singapore

Time : 11am - 3pm
