The popular Marina Bay fireworks may not be lighting up the night sky this year but that doesn’t mean you will have to skip celebrating the New Year altogether. Similar to last year, you can catch Singapore New Year's Eve fireworks for 2022 at various sites around the mainland.

There will also be light displays that are sure to entertain the entire family as you usher in the new year. Don’t miss out on seeing these sparkling lights on Dec 31!

To avoid large crowds, you can watch fireworks at different heartland locations across the little red dot. No announcements have been made of the exact locations but we will be sure to update you once information is out!

Having made its debut at least year’s Marina Bay Singapore Countdown (MBSC), the Shine A Light display is back to brighten up the sky throughout the month of December. If you haven’t already seen it, the display features 60 light beams in a circular formation that is projected from The Promontory. 

Local philanthropic organisation The Majurity Trust is the community partner for Shine A Light and will be raising funds to support vulnerable communities in Singapore. 

A different colour will be lit up every week to spotlight a cause. Then from Dec 29 to 31, Shine A Light will be magenta to represent the harmonious spirit of Singapore Together.
