Emcee - The Inclusive Sports Festival 2023, organized by Our Tampines Hub, made its highly anticipated return from 8th to 15th July as the largest family-friendly community sports festival dedicated to inspiring individuals of all abilities. Guiding this momentous return was Singapore Emcee Ivan, whose warm presence from day one helped reignite the spirit of togetherness the festival is known for.

​

The festival unfolded across four action-packed days, featuring sports for all abilities—from boccia and wheelchair basketball to athletics and para canoe. At every venue, the Emcee could be spotted energizing crowds and cheering on participants, his voice a constant source of encouragement.

The launch was graced by Minister Masagos Zulkifli, Dr Koh Poh Koon, Mayor Desmond Choo, and Mr Eric Chua. With professionalism, Singapore Emcee Ivan introduced each guest, ensuring the opening ceremony reflected the significance of their presence. One of the festival's most powerful features was encouraging both able-bodied and disabled athletes to compete together. From the Emcee's microphone, these moments of unity were elevated, his commentary reminding everyone they were witnessing something special.
