10 Locations To Go Tonight To Feed Your 'Gram With The NDP Fireworks

This year’s NDP parade and show will be a little different from the previous years. With most of us cooping up at home this time around, you probably think that the activities are watered down; but the show must go on. And one of the crowd-favourite highlights are the NDP fireworks. If you’re looking to watch this exciting display, read on.

Singaporeans can now catch the National Day fireworks display right from their homes or nearby, as they will be launched from 10 locations around the island. These will be the finale of the annual NDP celebrations, lasting for about 5 minutes. The pyrotechnics showcase will be start at around 8.20pm tonight.

Here are the 10 locations:

• Ang Mo Kio
• Bishan
• Buova Vista
• Jurong Lake Gardens*
• Marina Reservoir*
• Punggol
• Sembawang
• Tampines
• Woodlands
• Yew Tee

*Closed to the public during the event to avoid large crowds gathering at the venues

Apart from this once-a-year event, heartland areas will enjoy the morning parade which some of you have seen earlier today, as well as Red Lions parachutists, mobile columns and aerial flypasts. If you still prefer to stay in the comfort of your couch, you’ll be glad to know that these activities will be aired live on TV and radio channels throughout the day.
