Fireworks are back for New Year’s Eve in Singapore!
The Marina Bay Countdown Fireworks are back after 2 years hiatus. This year’s
fireworks extravaganza will be at the
Float at Marina Bay by STAR ISLAND. While that is a paid event, there are still vantage views. You can catch the
Fireworks for FREE.
The timing for New Year’s Eve Fireworks will be at the stroke of midnight. However, there should be smaller fireworks displayed by STAR ISLAND on the
Float.

Around Marina Bay
Other than the Float, there are plenty of spots you can gather around
Marina Bay.

Here are the locations
1 Esplanade WATERFRONT
 |
| New Year’s Eve Fireworks at Esplanade |
The Esplanade Waterfront stretches from the Esplanade bridge to the Float. As it is just side by side with the Float, it will provide one of the best
vantage points for Fireworks. Free performances will also be for
all to enjoy at the Outdoor Theatre.
Address: 1 Esplanade Drive
Getting There : Esplanade MRT
2 Jubliee Bridge / Esplanade Bridge
 |
| New Year’s Eve Fireworks Jubliee Bridge |
Jubliee Bridge connecting Esplande and Fullerton will be another hotspot. As
for Esplanade Bridge, while you can see the fireworks, we reckon the narrow
path may be under pedestrian control to ease human traffic.
Address: 1 Esplanade Drive near Merlion Park
Getting There : Esplanade MRT
3 ESPLANADE Park
To beat the crowd, head to Esplanade Park. You will be close to the action but
far from the group from here. Queen Elizabeth Walk and Anderson Bridge will be the best place to
watch.
Address: Along Connaught Drive
Getting There : Esplanade MRT
4 Empress Lawn
Victoria Theatre on Empress Lawn will give you a partial view of the fireworks.
Address: Fullerton Rd
Getting There: Raffles MRT
5 Padang

Singapore’s iconic attraction is located in this tourist hotspot. Near the
launch area and for those who want to be as close to the action as
possible.
Getting There: Raffles Place MRT
7 One Fullerton / Clifford Square
 |
| New Year’s Eve Fireworks Fullerton |
A popular place for fine dining. It has a linear footpath outside the
restaurant and probably a busy one for the night. Great place for capturing
MBS and Singapore Flyer as your background. It might get a bit crowded due to the
limited space to walk.

early if you want to use one of the 5 extended platforms for a better

Getting There: Hike from Bay East Garden or Fort Road Car Park
There you have it, 22 locations to watch fireworks in Singapore. So which one would you head out to?
There are also selected HDB blocks that you can enjoy the Fireworks. However, since these are residential areas, we decided it is best to keep them under wraps to give residents some privacy. If you really want to know, drop us an email here!
