First Singapore Fireworks Festival
This year’s fireworks display will not be just on National Day, 9 August, but over three consecutive Sundays – 1, 8 and 15 August. One of the most popular and exciting attractions for residents of Singapore, the fireworks display has now been developed into a full festival.
In conjunction with the Celebrate Singapore initiatives, UnUsUaL Design & Communications is organising the first-ever fireworks festival to be held in Singapore. The festival will see teams from the USA, Hong Kong and Singapore launching some of the world’s finest and most spectacular pyrotechnic effects, all expertly choreographed to music.
The first Singapore Fireworks Festival starts on 1 August with the team from Hong Kong. Then on each of the following two Sunday nights, the teams from Singapore and USA will present their 6- to 10-minute display.
World-class performance can be guaranteed as the visiting teams are all established performers who have participated in other international events, say the organisers.
Best viewing areas for the displays will be the Marina South Park, Padang, Fort Canning Park, and hotels and restaurants fronting the Marina Bay. Another idea is to be on a boat in the Bay itself, as a number of tour operators will be organising special fireworks cruises on the three nights of the festival.
For spectators in the Marina Promenade stands, the display will be truly magnificent: fireworks will soar from the banks of the Singapore River, with the bridge and an illuminated downtown serving as a backdrop.
Sound equipment will be installed along the promenade for broadcasting the background music of the displays. Mediacorp Singapore will also broadcast the music simultaneously. So those who cannot join the crowds will just have to listen and imagine the splendour!
The fireworks blast-off times are 8 pm on 1 and 15 August, and 8.30 pm on 8 August, but as admission is free, a large crowd is expected and those wanting a good view of the spectacular pyrotechnics will have to take up their preferred spots earlier in the day.
Complementing the fireworks festival will be a 16-day carnival at the Marina Promenade, which will take on the look of an amusement park with rides and more than 100 stalls selling food and other merchandise. There will also be outdoor concerts. This event is expected to draw close to 200,000 spectators each week, including tourists from neighbouring countries.
