The online event will run from Dec. 5 to 6, featuring “exclusive content from invited guests and merchandise from partner brands”. The online festival charges no fee, but attendees must register to get access. Details about the online festival will be announced on C3AFA’s social media.

“We look forward to meeting all our customers and stakeholders online instead this year, and hope to see continued support from everyone, as we all stand in solidarity toward a brighter future together,” said Chin.

Initiated in 2008, C3AFA is part of a collaboration between SOZO and Sotsu, the organizer of C3. In 2019, the C3AFA Singapore attracted more than 120,000 people and won the Best Leisure Event in Singapore by Singapore Tourism Awards for its 2018 edition. Its first installment in Indonesia took place in 2012.

In August, it launched an online platform AFA Station to bring the event’s offline experience to the digital realm. (wir/wng)
