I checked the Main Website, they say that Friday have exhibition instead of just Saturday and Sunday... Why is that? Aren't students still studying and adults still working on Friday daylight? 0_0

Where is that Info when the Singapore AFA 2013 Site ISN'T online yet?

And why would they care about "students still studying and adults still working on Friday daylight"; an event is an Event.
It's just like asking why PC Fair, SITEX, Food Expo etc opens on Thursday or Friday, instead of solely on Saturday & Sunday.

Anyway, in case you never been to AFA this past 2 years or so, on Friday, it's ONLY I ♥ AniSong Concert in the Evening; the Festival Ground/Convention Halls isn't open.
But who knows, they might change that this year as apparently for AFA ID, the Festival Ground/Convention Hall is open for all 3 days with concert only on Friday and Saturday, while Stage Activities on Saturday and Sunday.
