Singapore at its heart is a country that bears a zest for celebrations. One of its main traditions is the New Year celebration; where the transition of the New Year is met with fireworks, sparklers and firecrackers. Celebrated with great enthusiasm and ardour, Singapore is lit up during the celebrations, where a string of glimmering lights dot the streets. Hosting a myriad of extravagant events, New Years Eve in Singapore draws in a number of tourists around the world, keen on basking in its glamorous and exuberant festivities.

The most popular celebration takes place at Marina Bay, overlooking the spectacular waterfront. Brimming with a number of festivities from the Esplanade promenade to the Marina Bay Floating Stadium, Marina Bay is decorated with splendid lights, shaping the entire atmosphere of Singapore as one massive New Year celebration. Travellers will be entertained by spectacular performances, featuring dance troupes, acrobats and international and local artistes.
