The story

Marina Bay Singapore Countdown in Marina Bay

The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown is Singapore's largest New Year's Eve celebration, centred on Marina Bay with a synchronised fireworks display, light shows, and public art installations. Recent editions have featured a 30-minute, multi-chapter fireworks show launched from Marina Bay Sands and Sentosa's Siloso Beach, alongside large-scale projections and a floating installation of thousands of community-written wishing spheres.

The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown developed as the country's flagship New Year's Eve gathering, using the reclaimed waterfront district around Marina Bay Sands, the Merlion, and the Helix Bridge as a natural amphitheatre for the country's largest annual public celebration.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

Beyond pyrotechnics, the event layers in illumi, a large-scale light show spanning nine themed interactive zones, and special projections onto the historic Fullerton Hotel facade showcasing artwork by artists with disabilities, embedding social inclusion into the night's visuals

03

The city starts moving

A recurring tradition is a floating installation of some 20,000 illuminated wishing spheres, each containing one of over 500,000 handwritten public wishes, set adrift on the bay to form a glowing collective art piece
